Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, says the embattled Director-General of Operations of the Ghana Police Service, George Alex Mensah, is gunning for the parliamentary seat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bekwai Constituency.<\/b><\/p>\n

He added that COP Alex Mensah\u2019s posters are even out.<\/p>\n

Sammy Gyamfi made this allegation on Saturday, September 9.<\/p>\n

He was speaking on the appearance before the seven-member bi-partisan committee of witnesses, key among them some three senior police officers.<\/p>\n

The NDC executive said the committee is only entertaining \u201cgross insubordination\u201d from the police officers, whom he said ought to be punished severely.<\/p>\n

For him, the police should not have suspended a decision to interdict the three senior officers \u2013 George Alex Mensah, a Commissioner of Police (COP), Emmanuel Eric Gyebi, a Superintendent, and George Lysander Asare, another Superintendent.<\/p>\n

He said they are \u201crabid members\u201d of the NPP, particularly the seniormost COP Alex Mensah.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sick to the stomach that till date, the [Ghana] Police Service is sitting aloof, watching these deviant characters come and sit on television and display their irresponsibility, their recklessness, their evil-mindedness, their unprofessionalism and they are looking at them because everybody is afraid if you touch them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are rabid NPP fanatics,\u201d he stressed, citing COP Alex Mensah as \u201ceven gunning for the Bekwai Parliamentary seat of the New Patriotic Party\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve not seen his posters?\u201d he dared when questioned on the allegation.<\/p>\n

COP Alex Mensah admitted in evidence when he appeared before the seven-member committee that he has been a long-standing member of the United Party (UP) tradition and sympathetic towards the NPP.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I am not a card-bearing member,\u201d he clarified his membership of the NPP.<\/p>\n

But Sammy Gyamfi stressed: \u201cIf you touch him, you will incur the wrath of Akufo-Addo.\u201d<\/p>\n
