Professor Baffour Agyeman-Duah, a former senior governance advisor to the United Nations, has expressed support for President John Mahama’s decision to replace Dr. George Akuffo Dampare as Inspector General of Police (IGP).
According to Prof. Agyeman-Duah, such changes are a natural part of leadership transitions.
“I find nothing wrong with the president changing the police IGP, and even the CDS if he decides to do so – it happens,” Prof. Agyeman-Duah stated in an interview with Joy News on Saturday.
He emphasised that it is common for incoming presidents to appoint top officials who align with their vision and leadership style.
“Any president coming into power will naturally want top officers who align with his vision of leadership. You cannot dispute that,” he added.
Drawing comparisons to international practices, Prof. Agyeman-Duah highlighted similar occurrences in other countries.
“Look at what has happened in the US and other countries,” he noted, underscoring the global norm of leadership changes in key positions.
