The
Chairman
of
the
special
committee
tasked
with
a
probe
into
a
leaked
tape
on
plans
to
remove
the
IGP
from
office,
Samuel
Atta
Akyea
has
strongly
criticised
the
Vice
Chairman
of
the
committee,
James
Agalga
over
comments
that
it
was
unlawful
for
the
committee
to
demand
for
call
logs
of
the
IGP
as
evidence.
Atta
Akyea
says
James
Agalga’s
lack
of
understanding
of
the
Constitution
is
to
blame
for
what
he
deems
as
the
mess
created
by
the
committee.
Speaking
in
Parliament
in
Accra
on
Wednesday,
Att
Akyea
said
“We
shall
have
the
powers,
rights,
and
privileges
of
High
Court.
So
what
are
you
saying
that
we
can’t
commandeer
law?
…So,
what
are
you
saying
you
don’t
have
the
power.”
“That
is
why
you
messed
up.
You
didn’t
understand
the
Constitution,”
he
stated.
Atta
Akyea
added
that
the
report
of
the
committee
is
anaemic
and
lacks
substance
for
any
Parliamentary
action.
The
committee’s
report
which
was
not
signed
by
the
Chairman
revealed
that
the
three
senior
police
officers,
COP
Alex
George
Mensah,
Supt.,
George
Lysander
Asare
and
Supt.
Emmanuel
Eric
Gyebi,
misconducted
themselves,
a
major
offence
under
Police
regulations,
and
must
be
sanctioned
in
accordance
with
the
Police
disciplinary
procedure.
However,
in
debating
the
report
on
the
floor
of
Parliament,
the
Chairman,
Samuel
Atta
Akyea
urged
the
house
to
reject
the
committee’s
report
over
the
lack
of
logical
foundation.
“I
want
to
submit
with
the
greatest
of
respect
that
this
report
reduced
parliament
and
the
good
committee
of
parliament
to
a
conveyor
belt
that
anything
they
drop
on
it
should
go.
You
do
not
just
listen
to
people
who
come
before
a
committee
and
that
will
bring
you
to
a
conclusion
of
the
matter.
You
delve
into
the
matters.
A
committee
of
parliament
is
not
a
conveyor
belt.
They’re
supposed
to
delve
into
this
matter.
And
on
that
showing,
this
report
is
so
anaemic.”
“It
lacks
substance
for
plenary
to
find,
with
the
greatest
of
respect
any
decision
on
it
and
to
uphold
this
report.
Yes.
And
I
urge
this
House
to
reject
this
report
because
there
is
no
foundation
of
evidence
for
this
report.
And
we
shouldn’t
make
a
resolution
based
on
such
an
anaemic
report,”
he
stated.
