The motive behind the alleged plot is believed to be concerns that Dr. Dampare’s presence could hinder attempts to manipulate the outcome of the upcoming elections.
However, the Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery, dismissed these claims during a press conference in Parliament, urging the public to disregard them as unfounded and without basis.
Dery emphasized the government’s commitment to upholding the integrity and independence of the police force, particularly during the electoral process.
He stated, “Tapes will be useful if they relate to a crime, but otherwise No.
But I haven’t made that determination whether this is criminal or not.
Let me make it absolutely clear that this government is not going to tamper with the 2024 elections. The president does not want to stay one more hour beyond his term.
We also want to make sure that we have a free and fair election.”
Meanwhile, the Minority in Parliament has called for a thorough investigation into the leaked tape, which suggests a government intention to rig the upcoming general elections following the planned removal of Dr. George Akuffo Dampare as IGP.
James Agalga, the Ranking Member on the Defence and Interior Committee of Parliament, highlighted the seriousness of such comments, stating that they could potentially be considered treasonous.
He urged the government to take swift and decisive action in response to the allegations.
