Western Regional Director of the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD), DSP Seth Danso, has praised former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare for his transformative impact on policing in Ghana.
Speaking in an interview on Eyewitness News, DSP Danso acknowledged that while he has served under multiple IGPs, Dampare’s leadership stood out.
“I have served a lot of them [IGPs] and I have observed and followed their works,” he noted.
“But with the coming of Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, I think the face of policing in Ghana, seriously speaking, changed, and he did a lot. He set the bar so high.”
DSP Danso further emphasized Dampare’s uniqueness among past police chiefs, stating,
“Among his peers, the IGPs that have come and gone, if he is one, I will say he is unique amongst all of them. He stands out, he stands tall amongst his peers.”
Meanwhile, Dampare has thanked Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for making him make history.
According to him, he was appointed as Ghana’s youngest IGP and lived up to the task until he left office honorably.
Dampare in a statement reacting to his removal indicated that the former president humored him and he is grateful for the opportunity given to him.
To him, the people of Ghana supported him every step of the way and he does not take the support for granted.
