The Inspector General Of Police is expected to be given the opportunity to speak on the issues raised in the leaked tape. Hon. Atta Akyea while being interviewed on JoyNews indicated that it was important that the IGP is heard.
The chairman of the Committee Investigating the leaked tape on the IGP, Lawyer Atta Akyea indicated that the work of the committee was critical to helping find out more from what is discussed in the leaked tape.
According to him, the committee has an extended version of the tape and the new take is over an hour. He made this public during The Probe on JoyNews.
He added that all those who have come before the committee will also be expected to be present with their lawyers on the same day.
He added that there was nothing more noble for the IGP to face his accusers at the public hearing. However, he added that where the committee believes an information to be made public may be too sensitive to the public and a national security concern, the section of the hearing may be done in camera.
“I do not think the IGP will turn down the invite to appear before the Committee” – Lawyer Atta Akyea
There is no incentive to discredit the IGP and the the IGP is not on trial he added. He added that the Principles of Natural Justice are being espoused through the work of the Committee.
Lawyer Atta Akyea was quick to add that, the Committee was going to probe further other issues raised in the tape available to the committee.
