Dampare’s tenure as IGP brought no significant change in policing - Suhuyini

During a recent press briefing, Member of Parliament Alhassan Suhuyini criticized the tenure of Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, asserting that it has failed to bring about meaningful improvements in Ghana's policing system. Despite the IGP's promises for reform, Suhuyini argued that crime rates have not significantly decreased and public confidence in law enforcement remains low. He highlighted ongoing challenges such as inadequate resources and poor training for officers, which hinder effective crime prevention. The MP also called attention to alarming incidents of police brutality and excessive force, suggesting these issues erode trust between citizens and the police force. Suhuyini emphasized the need for comprehensive reforms that address these systemic problems rather than mere rhetoric from leadership. He urged government officials to implement tangible strategies aimed at enhancing safety and security across communities. As calls for accountability intensify, the future of policing in Ghana hinges on whether current leadership can translate promises into actions that genuinely benefit citizens.
