Dampare overreacted - KSM speaks on IGP's letter to British High Commissioner

Veteran Ghanaian media personality and satirist, Kweku Sintim Misa (KSM) believes that the IGP’s letter to the British High Commissioner, Madam Harriet Thompson over her tweet on the arrest of Oliver Barker – Vormawor was wrongly done.

In a recent interview on Star FM, KSM expressed that IGP Dr. George Akufo Dampare could have channeled his response through the Foreign Ministry.

According to him, the IGP’s four-page letter was an overreaction to a trivial issue.

KSM expressed surprise at the IGP’s response to the tweet, adding that he created ‘a storm in a teacup’.

“I think protocol – wise we have the Foreign Ministry and if any reason if the IGP is not happy about the tweet, I think he should have passed through the Foreign Ministry,” he said.

Madam Harriet Thompson had tweeted about the Fix The Country convener’s arrest.

“Oliver Barker – Vormawor, convener of the #FixTheCountry movement, arrested again, I understand it’s for a motoring offense and he is currently on his way to court. I’ll be interested to see where this goes,” her tweet dated Tuesday, May 17, 2022, read.

In his response, IGP George Akufo Dampare stated that the High Commissioner’s comments were biased and uninformed.
