Not just ordinary Ghanaians are singing praises of the new Inspector General of Police but also the National Chief Imam of Ghana, Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu has also showered praises on Dr. George Akuffo Dampare.
He praised the IGP through his spokesperson Armiyawo Shaibu who showed up on Multimedia Newsfile on Saturday 30th October, 2021.
He noted that law and order has been restored in the country and okada riders obeying traffic regulation is an evidence that law and order has been restored.
”I have seen policemen at traffic lights compelling motorbikes to stop at right lights contrary to the previous practice where we see even in the presence of the police, Okada riders with impunity will be driving across the red light to the risk of other road users”.
”What even confirms and gives more happiness to me is the attempt to bring stakeholders together. Because religion plays a significant role in our social, economic and political lives, and our population in this country, I can confirm more than 95 percent are religious. Therefore for us to ensure there is order and discipline in our country, it is logical for the IGP to think strategically to bring leaders of religious bodies together to dialogue and seek our cooperation to ensure we are on one page when it comes to enforcement in order to sanitize our environment”.
He encouraged the IGP to keep up the good work as he has the support of Muslim leaders.
