Ghana’s Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, a pivotal figure in the country’s parliamentary system, has taken a significant step by instructing the Clerk of Parliament to provide President Nana Akufo-Addo with a copy of the ad-hoc committee’s report investigating a leaked tape regarding the removal of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), following its adoption by Parliament.
The committee’s report, which was recently endorsed by the house but not signed by its Chairman, Samuel Atta Akyea, detailed allegations of misconduct against three senior police officers: COP Alex George Mensah, Supt. George Lysander Asare, and Supt.
George Lysander Asare, and Supt. George Lysander Asare, and Supt. George Lysander Asare, and Supt. Emmanuel Eric Gyebi. The report, a result of a meticulous and thorough investigation, found that their actions constituted a serious breach of Police regulations and recommended sanctions in accordance with disciplinary procedures.
Mr Bagbin issued the directive after Parliament adopted the report, stating, “The report is accordingly adopted. I can only direct that the clerk to Parliament should make available a copy of this report, which has just been adopted by the house to his excellency, the president, as chairman of the police council for any further action it deems necessary.”
The move marks a significant step in the ongoing scrutiny of the alleged plot to remove the IGP, underscoring parliamentary oversight in Ghana’s public accountability and law enforcement.
