He commended the responsiveness of the agency heads whenever called upon, underscoring the mutual support that has characterized their working relationship.

“I deeply appreciate the extent of collaboration between us. Anytime of the day I have called on any of you, you have proven to have my back, and I have your back also. And I know that if we continue to work together like this, Ghana will continue to be the winner,” remarked the IGP.

Addressing the upcoming 2024 elections, Dr Dampare assured Ghanaians that the security agencies are committed to ensuring a peaceful and incident-free electoral process. 

He pledged to work closely with his colleagues to maintain the peaceful trend observed in elections since he assumed office.
