Own Up Or Face The Consequences -Atta Akyea Warns Culprits In IGP Leaked Tape

The chairman of Parliament’s committee set up to probe the leaked tape on the plot to oust the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, has asked persons involved to “own up or face some serious perjury consequences”.

According to Samuel Atta Akyea, finding the individuals on the tape wouldn’t be any difficulty for the committee.

“It is very easy to ascertain the individuals on the tape. I think it will not be too difficult. They need to own up, or they will face some serious perjury consequences. That is how I see the way to go,” he noted.

“If it is your voice, it is your voice. Just give us the context of why you said what you said, and the members of the committee will interrogate the matter and see whether what has happened has serious security implications as we approach the election year,” he explained on July 25.

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, earlier constituted a seven-member committee to investigate the leaked tape containing alleged plans by the government to remove the IGP from office in an attempt to rig the 2024 elections.

The committee is chaired by the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Samuel Atta-Akyea, and includes a technical person, Dr Isaac Lartey Annan, who is a lawyer and a human rights specialist.

Making this known in Parliament on Tuesday, July 25, Mr Bagbin said, “The special committee will be chaired by Hon. Atta Akyea and with him from the majority side are Hon. Yaw Boamah and Hon. Ophelia Mensah. And the minority side, we have the Vice Chair, Honourable James Agalga, and with him are Honourable Eric Opoku and Honourable Peter Toobu”.
