The leak tape audio recording that has become a national issues, for Parliament to set a committee to find out those who are behind it.
The content of the leak tape is about the removal of the inspector general of Ghana Police Service, Dr George Akufo Dampare from his position in the police service.
This leak tape recording has got the attention of many Ghanaians to have interest in it to know the real perpetrators of it.
The conversation started when Mr Bugiri Naabu came out publicly to confirm that the voice in the tape is his own voice and he went to the Accra Mall to buy a recording garget and recorded the conversation by himself.
COP Alex Mensah came out to booms against the IGP in connection with the leak tape , that he is the worst ever IGP in Ghana Police Service.
Mr Bugiri Naabu also came to admit that the IGP used him to set up some senior officers in the police service.
He even said that he was part of those who lobbied for the IGP to get his position.
All these and many more conversations in line with the leak tape, has come to passed.
On 12th September, 2023, the IGP Dr George Akufo Dampare and his lawyer appeared before the panel members of the leak tape committee in Parliament to share his side of the story.
He stated categorically that he is not the one behinded the leak tape and he knows something about it.
The confirmation that he gave to the panel members on the committee is that, Mr Bugri Naabu has never lobby for him before he got his position as the IGP through the appointment of president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
He defeats the perspection that he is running the police service as one man show, he explained that he has a formal relationship with all the police commanders and the top senior officers, and there is always a concensure build up in any decision that will come from the service.
So running the police service alone as the head of the institution, is not true.
He sighted that COP Alex Mensah who came to the leak tape committee, to booms about him with all sorts of unfounded allegations against him, when his mother passed on he supported him and went to the funeral to console him.
For disallowing police to have media engagement pertaining issues concerning the police service, he said that sometimes when some police officers speaks to the media concerning certain issues, they bring the image and reputation of the institution into a disrepute because of lack of facts, this is the reason why he has stopped the police not to engaged in any media engagement until there is an official communique coming from their outfit.
He became very emotional about how his leak tape saga has affected him personally and his wife and children.
