Same Intel Tells Me IGP Dampare Is Behind Audio Recording and Leakage- Supt Asare

The second senior police officer who appeared as witness before parliament’s ad-hoc committee probing the leaked tape plotting the removal of Dr George Akuffo Dampare as the Inspector General of Police, Superintendent George Asare says his intel points to the IGP as the orchestrator of the recording and its subsequent leakage.

Appearing before the committee on Monday August 4, 2023, Supt George Asare insists the “tape is incomplete” even as his intel points to the current IGP.

Asked whether he indeed had a conversation with former Northern Region Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Daniel Bugri Naabu, he said: “I gave additional information to him which was not in the tape.

“[This is] just to make the point that the tape is doctored.”

He had earlier described the whole recording as “cut and paste”.

“Mr Chair, there is some cut and paste on the audio but that notwithstanding the voice in it is mine,” he told the committee.

This falls just in line with the same witness given by the Director General of Operations, George Alex Mensah, when he also appeared before the committee.

“Hon Chair, I identified some voices that resemble my voice but I cannot say specifically that these are my voices,” he stressed on Thursday, August 31.

They have both pointed accusing fingers at the IGP for the leakage.

For Supt. Asare, the two “boys” sent to go for the CVs from Chief Bugri Naabu to the IGP have expressed readiness to appear before the committee to witness.

Meanwhile, he has promised to reveal more to the committee about the workings of the current IGP in-camera.

“Granted that I will speak to this matter in-camera, I am more than prepared to do so.”
