In a recent statement, Afenyo Markin, the Deputy Majority Leader in Ghana's Parliament, emphasized that the real age of Inspector General of Police (IGP) George Akuffo Dampare will be revealed at an appropriate moment. The issue surrounding the IGP's age has sparked debate and speculation, leading to calls for transparency regarding his birth date. Markin reassured the public that they would take necessary steps to clarify any discrepancies when the time is right.
The controversy gained traction after some individuals questioned Dampare's eligibility based on his alleged age, suggesting it could impact his tenure. In response to these concerns, Markin stated that such matters should not overshadow the IGP’s commendable performance in maintaining law and order in Ghana. He underscored the importance of focusing on the effectiveness of police leadership rather than engaging in unproductive discussions about personal details. As public interest continues to mount, it remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and whether further revelations about Dampare’s age will emerge from official channels.
