The Minister for Interior, Muntaka Mohammed, has praised the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, for his efforts in improving the Ghana Police Service (GPS). 

He commended the IGP for enhancing the image of the service and making significant changes to its operations and infrastructure.

The minister made these remarks during his visit to the Police Headquarters on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. 

Reflecting on his previous visit, he acknowledged the visible improvements in the environment and overall state of the service. He expressed appreciation for the transformation under Dr Dampare’s leadership.

“I am not a troublemaker, so I’ve not been to the police headquarters. The last time I was here was in 2017. I think I must commend the IGP about the initial impression of the place, the progress and beautification of the place, the neatness and the uplifting of the service and the few changes he’s been able to make,” the minister stated. 

His comments highlighted the ongoing reforms aimed at modernising the police force.

The Interior Minister’s commendation reinforces the government’s commitment to improving law enforcement and ensuring a more professional and efficient police service. 

The recognition of Dr Dampare’s leadership further affirms the importance of continuous development within the security sector to enhance public confidence and safety.
