Bawumia hails ‘reformer’ Dampare for transforming police service
Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has described Inspector-General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare as a reformer who has achieved tangible results since assuming the role.
According to the Vice President, the IGP is on course to achieving his vision of making the Ghana Police Service a reference point for excellence in Africa and beyond.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony of the 53rd Police Cadet Officers’ Course in Accra, the Vice President expressed pride in the achievements of Dr. Dampare and his management team.
“The systemic reorientation and reform of the Ghana Police Service since the appointment of Inspector General Dr. George Akuffo Dampare have yielded tangible results; results that continue to give me pride as Chairman of the Police Council.
“I am proud to stand side by side with such a visionary leader who continues to set the pace and is on course to make the Ghana Police Service the reference point for excellence in Africa and beyond. Dr. Dampare, the reformer, ayekoo to you and your team,” he said.
The Vice President further noted, “The constant pursuit of perfection on the part of the IGP and his management team has extended to the Police Academy. With government support, the Police Administration embarked on ambitious infrastructural development of the training school, transforming its appearance.”
Dr. Bawumia also commended the leadership of the Police Service for their compassion by visiting the affected families of the East Legon accident.
“I am particularly touched by the recent visit of the IGP and his management team to the families and victims of the tragic accident at East Legon, Accra, that claimed the lives of two innocent young ladies. This level of commitment goes beyond the call of duty, and I urge the graduating class to learn from the Police leadership and conduct yourselves accordingly when deployed.”
