Dampare is doing nothing unusual, stop the praises – Ola Michael to Ghanaians
Ola Kwaku Michael, a movie producer and radio host, expressed dissatisfaction with Ghanaians’ praise for IGP Dr George Akuffo Dampare. All of the commotions, he says, is superfluous and uncalled for.
“We should stop praising him. Everyday Dampare, it’s becoming sickening already. Because people were killed during the election, is he doing anything about that? There were ministers and MP’s brandishing guns, not only that they were actually shooting it. What has he done about that? I am yet to see him reject his salary, then I will say, yea, there’s a new guy. Until then, it’s much ado about nothing. We’re in Ghana, people will start crucifying him,” Ola Kwaku Michael stated.
Dr George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector General of Police, has been praised by Ghanaians for his quick response in combating crime in the country. Especially after Shatta Wale and Medikal were detained for inducing fear and panic and brandishing a gun in public respectively. The film director, on the other hand, is of a different mind.
“When you think you’re punishing a celebrity, you are rather increasing their fanbase and their popularity. The IGP is doing well, but you people should stop overpraising him. He’s doing his job. AJ do you get the same praises for the job you are doing? He’s doing what he’s paid and appointed to do,” he added.
He went on to say that the position of Inspector General of Police is never easy to come by and that many compete for it. So, as long as he’s doing what he’s supposed to do, there’s nothing unusual about it. He went on to claim that politicians are the only ones that break the law and get away with it. And if Dr Dampare is successful in combating that threat, he will join the IGP’s lyrical acclaim.
