Retired Commissioner of Police (COP) George Alex Mensah has expressed confidence in the newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno.
Speaking on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, COP rtd. Mensah said he has worked with COP Yohuno for 31 years and believes he will bring positive change to the Ghana Police Service.
“If he leads the police the way I know him to, then I will not be disappointed, and police officers will be happy,” he stated.
He has described the new IGP as a good listener, an experienced and practical police officer who understands his work.
“He is not a dictator. He accepts advice and is always willing to listen to his people and new ideas,” COP Mensah retired added.
Stressing the importance of effective leadership, he noted that “policing is not on social media; it is underground work,” urging COP Yohuno to remain focused on the job.
“I trust him, and I know he will deliver,” he affirmed.
COP Yohuno’s appointment follows President Mahama’s decision to relieve Dr. George Akuffo Dampare of his post as IGP.
The appointment, announced by Minister of Government Communication Felix Kwakye Ofosu, was made in consultation with the Council of State.
With 40 years of experience in the service, COP Yohuno is expected to lead the modernization and transformation of the Ghana Police Service.
