The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akufo Dampare, has called on the public to disregard “worse IGP” tag on his name, saying his successes and failures transcend every rank of the police administration
According to the Mr. Dampare, the Police Service, which he leads, is a single unit, hence, his achievements belong to all in the Service and vice versa.
He made the comment on Tuesday when he appeared before a Parliamentary Committee established by Speaker Alban Bagbin to probe the leaked tape on the ousting of the IGP.

Dr George Akuffo Dampare noted that his administration is blossoming and cannot be described as the worst ever, as done by COP George Alex Mensah.
COP George Alex Mensah, who reappeared before the parliamentary committee tasked by Speaker Alban Bagbin to probe the leaked tape, on September 1, said “He (IGP) is not managing the police service well.”
On the matter, the IGP said: “By the grace of God and the honour done me by His Excellency the President, Nana Akufo-Addo Addo, we committed ourselves to transforming the organization to become the best institution in the country and a reference point for Africa and beyond in a team work fashion based on Genesis 1:26.
