Background

On Tuesday, July 11, an audio recording allegedly involving a police commissioner and a politician discussing a plot to remove IGP George Dampare from office leaked into the media.

As a result, the Minority Caucus in Parliament demanded an investigation into the clandestine plot contained in the audio.

The Speaker of Parliament, Mr Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, eventually appointed a seven-person bi-partisan committee on July 25, 2023, to investigate the audio in question.

The Committee constitutes three members each from the Majority and Minority sides of Parliament, and a technical person.

It is expected to revert to the House on September 10.
