Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has commend the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, labelling him as a great leader who inculcates discipline and integrity in the Ghana Police Service.
Speaking at the commissioning of the second ultra-modern brick model police station at Kawhu Asakraka in the Eastern Region on Saturday, he mentioned that Dampare and his management team have put into appropriate use the resources offered to the Police Service by the Akufo-Addo administration.
“The brick-model police station which is indeed, a departure from the traditional sand-block police station, is a novelty and I commend the current Police Administration for coming up with such a brilliant concept. This is indeed yet another fantastic initiative from the police administration that is worthy of emulation. I will urge all construction developers, both public and private, to adopt this concept of building with bricks to boost the local brick manufacturing economy. This government has invested heavily in infrastructure, recruited more police officers and provided armored carriers, patrol vehicles and motor bikes to aid in the efforts of the Police Service and we intend to do more in the future”.
Eulogizing Dampare for his personal endeavor in putting up the model police station, Dr Bawumia noted, “The police administration, led by the able Inspector General of Police George Akuffo Dampare, a son of Kwahu Asakraka, have put the investments to great use; yielding massive peace and security dividends for all of us to see and enjoy.”
Commenting on the numerous policies managed by IGP since assuming office, Dr. Bawumia noted “The massive deployment of police personnel and motor bikes in every corner of the country as part of the police visibility Initiative, Police Community Engagements across all levels including the exciting Snatch Them Young Police Initiative, and the high levels of professionalism and discipline now associated with the Ghana Police Service are testament to the good work being undertaken by the IGP and his team. To them I say Ayekoo”.
He stress that the police remains critical to “sustaining the security of our country and the deepening of our democratic values, dedicating their lives to the protection of lives and property and the thriving democratic rights of our people.
“Whenever the peace of our dear nation is threatened, the Police are our first line of defense and they remain in the frontline to engage any potential or ongoing affront to law and order in the Ghana,”.
