He has, therefore, advised the IGP to shun seeking public attention and work together with the Police to preserve the safety of the country.

“There have been so many IGPs who devoted themselves to work for the country and God but did not seek human face,” he said.

“He should allow the police to work instead of crippling them from working.”

Recounting the Islamic Senior High school issue, he felt there was the need for Dampare to work hand-in-hand with the Regional Police Command to avert the situation.

Speaking on Adom FM‘s Burning issues on Monday, Mr Akrofi debunked the assertion that the IGP has been performing excellently in his duties, following his reactions to recent issues.

“Since when did you see a police patrol team in your community,” he quizzed.

“The IGP needs to concentrate on crime-fighting and the deployment of patrol teams into crime-prone areas rather than always seeking public attention,” he advised.

According to him, natural disaster management necessitates sufficient funds and preparations in order to respond to such events, but it appears that the organisation has fallen short of these requirements.

He went on to say that even committees of this organization at the district and regional levels have all fallen to their knees as a result of the government’s lack of attention, implying that there is a lot of work to be done.

“NADMO is not ready at all, if there is a problem unless the committee at the district level goes to the regional level, and the national but there is not enough money for these problems even now, those offices are all closed meaning they have collapsed”.

“The NADMO could have done better than what they are doing now, but there is no money and the government isn’t supporting too.”

He made the remarks when asked about NADMO’s preparedness for unexpected occurrences during the rainy season in an interview on Adom FM’s Burning Issues.

DCOP Douglas Akrofi Asiedu went on to say that NADMO, despite having the intention of deploying plans to deal with impending natural disasters, lacks the authority to do so and would be unable to do so even if given the opportunity.

“NADMO although has been calling for the authority to make plans they cannot work even if they have the power, because even if you want to work, they will ask you to stop but it is the work of NADMO to introduce plans to manage occurrences.”

Meanwhile, Vincent Oppong Asamoah, a Ranking Member for the Committee on Works and Housing, says the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, is being discriminatory and that the Works and Housing ministry must be prioritised.

“The Minister of Finance which I call the prime minister is very discriminatory if you are not close to him, you won’t get any support from him and when he is being called to parliament, he only comes when he feels, but the Ministry for Works and Housing should be prioritised,” he lamented.
