In a compelling denouncement, Director of Academic Affairs and Research at KAIPTC, Prof Kwesi Aning, takes issue with remarks by COP George Alex Mensah, Director General of Operations at Ghana Police, concerning the incumbent Inspector General of Police (IGP)."

COP Alex Mensah, who is approaching retirement later this year, leveled allegations against the IGP, asserting that the Police Service was not being efficiently administered.

He made these remarks during his appearance before a parliamentary ad-hoc committee investigating allegations from a leaked tape, suggesting his involvement in a plot to oust the IGP from office.

"It is true; the current IGP is not managing the service well. And I will not deny this today or tomorrow. I will say it everywhere I go. You can do your own investigation within the service and you will know," myjoyonline.com quoted COP Alex Mensah.

In response to these comments, Prof Aning expressed concern, stating that it was problematic to sow discord against the IGP and question his popularity within the force.

“That demonstrates in no uncertain terms from where I sit, that he doesn’t mean well for the service," Prof Aning

He further criticized the senior police officer for bypassing established complaint channels and resorting to political avenues for his grievances.

Prof Aning suggested that this behaviour indicated a lack of goodwill towards the Police Service.

Additionally, Prof Aning raised concerns about COP Mensah's personal antagonism towards the IGP and his perceived intention to bring him down, describing the situation as unfortunate.

COP Mensah “translated his personal antagonisms towards the IGP and wants to go down with him.”

COP Mensah, a lawyer and Chartered Accountant, denied any personal animosity towards the IGP, attributing his statements to professional disagreements.

He admitted that the voice on the leaked tape was his but claimed that the content had been doctored.

Furthermore, he disputed the claims of a plot to remove the IGP and accused Bugri Naabu of lying before the committee.
