In a latest development in the leaked audio recording probe, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), George Akuffo Dampare, may be called to appear before the committee investigating the matter.
This decision comes after the outgoing Director of Technical Services of the Ghana Police Service, George Alex Mensah, implicated the IGP in the taping of the conversation.
According to COP Mensah, it was the IGP who orchestrated the taping, sending individuals to carry out the task and subsequently obtaining the tape.
COP Mensah suggested that if the committee wants access to the original tape, the IGP should be called before them.
Vice Chairman of the committee, James Agalga, stated that not inviting the IGP would be unfair and that the issues raised by COP Mensah were “very serious.” While the committee has not made a final decision on whether to invite the IGP, Agalga emphasized the importance of natural justice and giving all those who have been mentioned in the probe an opportunity to appear before the committee.
The leaked audio recording has caused controversy and sparked a public outcry, as it allegedly contains conversations implicating several high-ranking officials in corrupt practices.
The committee’s investigation aims to get to the bottom of the matter and hold those involved accountable. The appearance of the IGP before the committee, if it happens, will be a significant development in the ongoing investigation as he will disclose the role he played in the who saga.

From every indication COP Alex Mensah is very bitter because of his inability to become an IGP before going on retirement. From where i stand most of the allegations leveled against the IGP is/was borne out of pain. Am told he was a superintendent when the IGP was a sergeant. When a subordinate overtakes a superior officer at the workplace not by virtue of qualification but political appointment not all people are ready to contain that and this is exactly the pain of Alex Mensah. Am looking forward to a president who will respect "first come, first serve" in state institutions. The police man who was the first to be promoted to the rank of Commission of Police ( COP) automatically becomes the IGP. If they were promoted to same rank the same day, then other considerations like who was the first to join the service, what are their track records, age etc can then be looked into. We have seen instances where senior military officers are brought in to head to Ghana Customs as if to say there is no custom officer who is qualified to head the service. We have seen people who are not audit service staff being appointed auditor generals, same in the controller and accountant generals department. This must stop if we want to see an end to this non sense. From what we are seeing so far COP Alex Akuffo was undermining the IGP all this while which had implications for the internal security of the country.
