Decision to manage information flow to the public is strategic – IGP
The decision to oversee the transmission of information to the general public, according to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), is a strategic approach to ensuring that whatever is disclosed is true.
He added that the circumstances that existed prior to the implementation of this decision did not portray the Service in a professional manner.
Dr Dampare claimed this before the legislative ad hoc committee probing the purported scheme to depose him on Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
In response to a query from a committee member, former police officer and Wa West MP Peter Lanchene Toobu, Dr Dampare stated, “It is a strategy we agreed on in accordance with international best practise.” To avoid a situation in which everyone from the national level to the district level speaks on an issue without knowing the facts, and when the facts are revealed, they are contradictory.”
“It is a decision that all commanders were involved in taking,” the IGP said, emphasising that it was made after extensive consultation with key stakeholders within the Service. All Public Relations Officers were involved in the decision to take this strategy.”
Some members of the general public and media professionals have recently complained about police public relations officers’ refusal to offer interviews on growing topics.
Dr Dampare stated that mechanisms in place to ensure the timely transmission of factual information including the distribution of press releases and postings on the Service’s social media channels.
The committee is looking into an alleged scheme by certain top police officials, COP Alex Mensah, Superintendent George Asare, and Superintendent Emmanuel Eric Gyebi, with the help of a prominent NPP member, Chief Bugri Naabu, to depose the IGP.
The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, appointed the committee after Elembele MP Emmanuel Kofi Armah-Buah informed the House of the contents of the video.
According to the Speaker’s directive, the committee’s terms of reference are as follows: ascertain the authenticity of the leaked audio recording, investigate the conspiracy to remove the current IGP, investigate any other matter contained in the audio recording, recommend sanctions to persons found culpable where appropriate, make reform recommendations where necessary, and make such other recommendations and consequential orders as the committee may deem appropriate.

Menzgold: NAM1 enters a not guilty plea to allegations of money laundering, fraud, and other offences
Nana Appiah Mensah, the former CEO of Menzgold, also known as NAM 1, has pleaded not guilty to all 39 charges of wrongdoing.
Nana Appiah Mensah, widely known as NAM 1, was charged with 39 counts of crimes, including money laundering abetment, deceiving by false pretences, carrying out deposit-taking without the required licence, unlawful deposit-taking, and money laundering.
This is a decrease from the 61 counts originally filed against him.
In 2019, the Attorney General launched an inquiry on NAM 1, accusing him of scamming hundreds of clients out of millions of Ghana cedis through his gold dealership enterprise.
The case was adjourned numerous times until new charges were brought on August 30, 2023.
Mr Appiah Mensah stated plans to unfreeze locked up cash of Menzgold clients in exchange for 650 for verification.
Following that, he altered his intention to force former clients to obtain a verification access card in order to authenticate transactions and confirm claims, despite substantial public and consumer outcry.

Two people were detained in Asokore Mampong Municipality for allegedly attempting to double register in the current Limited Voters’ Registration Exercise.
According to Municipal EC official Angela Afriyie Osei, the two suspects were apprehended after being validated as people existing in the Electoral Commission’s database.
As a challenge to the procedure, Madam Angela Afriyie mentions duplicate registration and efforts to register minors.
“The challenge we have been facing is about the double registration. At times when applicants come and we interrogate them, they insist he or she hasn’t registered before but when they go to the biometric column then it will come out that the person has registered.
“At the moment, we’ve handed two to the police. On male and a female. Another issue is also with the registration of minors,” she indicated.
Meanwhile, some party operatives are pleased with the outcome thus far.
“So far, we are satisfied with the entire process except some few challenges but that aside, we are very much comfortable with the process. All in all, everything is great,” an agent told JoyNews.
Nigel Gaisie, the founder and head of the Prophetic Hill Chapel, has stunned Ghanaians by backtracking on his prophecy regarding artist Black Sherif.
Prophet Gaisie had a vision in which he witnessed the mother of musical sensation Black Sherif sobbing excessively in a post on his official Facebook page.
As a result, he pushed the musician to seek safety before December, implying his impending death.
However, in a recent interview, Prophet Gaisie clarified that the prophecy is for a particular Sherif Black and not the Konongo-based performer.
“We see in bits and pieces, and what I saw in the spiritual realm is Sherif Black, but any logical person can make projections and deductions from it.” If I hear a prophecy about Ako and my name is Akosua, I will definitely act on it,” he said in parables.
Regardless, the man of God exhorted those who were convinced of the prophecy to fast and pray in order to avoid death.
Prophet Gaisie, who dismissed charges that his doom prophecies concerning celebrities are only for fame, stated that he will quit making them public in order to prevent insults and derision.
