The
Speaker
of
Parliament,
Rt.
Hon.
Alban
Sumana
Kingsford
Bagbin,
has
directed
the
adhoc
Committee
that
probed
the
leaked
tape
allegedly
plotting
the
ousting
of
the
IGP
to
go
and
complete
its
work.
This
is
in
light
of
the
lack
of
consensus
that
has
come
up
after
the
committee
submitted
its
report
to
Parliament.
Following
the
completion
of
the
report,
Chairman
of
the
Committee,
Samuel
Atta-Akyea,
who
is
also
the
Member
of
Parliament
for
Abuakwa
South,
has
said
the
members
have
been
divided
over
the
document.
He
is
making
claims
that
some
of
the
members
on
the
committee
have
opposed
to
the
findings
and
recommendations
made
in
the
report,
despite
everyone
else
signing
but
him.
Deliberating
over
the
report
in
Parliament
today,
Thursday,
July
04,
2024,
the
Vice
Chairman
of
the
Committee,
James
Agalga,
indicated
that
“the
work
of
the
committee
was
consensual
or
unanimous
in
the
sense
that
the
Chairman
did
not
have
an
original
vote
and
therefore
this
report
is
unanimous.
It’s
the
unanimous
verdict
of
the
members
who
had
original
voting
rights.
So
the
chairman’s
refusal
to
sign
because
it
is
visible
on
the
report
that
he
did
not
sign
this
report
but
that
is
inconsequential
because
this
is
a
unanimous
verdict.”
On
his
part,
the
Speaker
asked
that
deliberations
on
the
matter
be
suspended
for
the
members
to
be
on
the
same
page.
“Honourable
members,
it’s
very
clear
that
the
committee
has
not
completed
the
job
and
so
I
would
like
that
we
suspend
further
consideration
of
this
matter,”
he
noted.
The
Committee’s
report
cited
all
three
officers
heard
on
the
tape;
COP
George
Alex
Mensah,
Superintendent
Lysander
Asare
and
Superintendent
Gyebi,
for
professional
misconduct,
and
went
ahead
to
refer
two
of
them
to
the
Privileges
Committee
of
Parliament
for
lying
to
the
committee
when
they
appeared
before
them.
