The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has reaffirmed the Ghana Police Service’s commitment to neutrality and professionalism in the upcoming December 7 elections.
Speaking at the commissioning of a modern police station in Akyem Muoso, Eastern Region, Dr. Dampare emphasized that the police have no allegiance to any political party and will enforce the law impartially.
“The Ghana Police Service is for the country and its people. We do not belong to any side in the elections. We are here to serve the people and protect them. So, we will remain neutral and professional during the elections and beyond,” he stated.
He further warned individuals or groups intending to disrupt the peace to desist, adding that the police would not tolerate any actions that could undermine the country’s stability.
Dr. Dampare also urged Ghanaians to play their part in safeguarding national security.
“Just as the police will fulfill their responsibility of protecting citizens and ensuring safety, we call on everyone not to allow themselves to be used for violence or to create tension in their communities,” he added.
Accompanied by members of the Police Management Board, the IGP also commissioned two additional police stations in Moseaso and Abekoase, bringing the total to three state-of-the-art facilities inaugurated in the Eastern Region in a single day.
The chiefs and residents of these communities expressed gratitude to the police administration for its efforts in enhancing security and the fight against crime across the country.
