COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah<\/strong><\/p>\n

COP Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah has shrugged off calls for her resignation following her press conference on the missing Takoradi girls during which she said the law enforcement agency knew about their whereabouts.<\/p>\n

In her first remarks since the controversial press conference, the first female Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) asked rhetorically whether her resignation would solve the problem.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the maiden Commonwealth Speaker Forum last Wednesday, she redirected the narrative when she asked rhetorically: \u201cIs that what will solve the problem? There is a problem for us to solve and that is my focus.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing what is at stake to a conclusive stage is what should be the focus and not to waste time thinking about whether you want to resign or you don\u2019t want to resign,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The CID boss came under a barrage of calls to resign from her position following her announcement that the police knew the location of the missing girls.<\/p>\n

To her critics who have been persistent in their calls, she said when it is time for her to leave she would do so because, as she put it, \u201csomebody was there and I am here and another person will be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

She told her critics that the position of Director General of the CID is one she did not apply for and, therefore, resigning from the position as they are asking her to do is not tenable. \u201cResigning is like resigning from the Ghana Police Service and the position is not something I applied for,\u201d she pointed out.<\/p>\n

When the time for her transfer from her current position is due, she went on \u201cI will be transferred.\u201d<\/p>\n

The missing Takoradi girls\u2019 episode is one which has caused the Ghana Police Service as much anguish as it has the families of the missing girls.<\/p>\n

While the parents and their families are pained for not seeing their daughters for nearly a year now, the law enforcement agency is under pressure to locate and rescue the missing girls.<\/p>\n

Madam Maame Tiwaa has assumed the responsibility of running the CID at a crucial time when the subject under review is raging.<\/p>\n
