The ad hoc committee established by Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin to investigate the leaked audio discussing an alleged plot to remove Inspector General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare has officially presented its findings to Parliament.

Chaired by Samuel Atta Akyea, MP for Abuakwa South, the committee was tasked with probing the controversial audio in which senior police officers were allegedly heard conversing with Bugri Naabu, former Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The discussion centered on the removal of Dr. Dampare from his position as IGP, citing his uncompromising professionalism as a hindrance.

The committee's report was laid before Parliament on Tuesday, June 18.

The Clerk of Parliament announced, “The Report of the Special Committee of Inquiry into the contents of a leaked audio tape involving a high-ranking police officer and others in an alleged conspiracy to remove the current Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare and related matters has been duly presented.”

The contents of the report are expected to shed light on the extent of the alleged conspiracy and the motivations behind it.

The audio recording, which has stirred significant public and political interest, suggested that certain senior police officers found Dr. Dampare's integrity and professionalism to be obstacles to their interests, leading to discussions about orchestrating his removal.

The committee, composed of various members of Parliament, conducted a thorough investigation into the matter, interviewing key individuals and reviewing relevant evidence to compile their findings.

Parliament will now review the findings and recommendations of the committee to determine the appropriate course of action.

The release of the committee’s report is anticipated to prompt further discussions and potential reforms aimed at safeguarding the integrity of the country's law enforcement leadership and preventing undue interference in its operations.
