Dampare&#8217;s appointment and what he demonstrated so far goes to show that if you are elected to the Jubilee House and you&#8217;re not able to effect change, then your character and competence needs to be questioned by the people you are leading&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In my life time, I didn&#8217;t think that I will ever want to mention the Ghana Police Service and the next thing I will think about is integrity, respect and all the good accolades. Now you hear of the police service and your heart gets lighter than we have in the past. Parliamentarians who are misbehaving with their V8s have not been spared. And even the police personnel wherever across the country, they do not misbehave and get away with it these days&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After Nkrumah, we have really not gotten a leader. As we sit here, as a country, we don&#8217;t have a leader. We have a president but we don&#8217;t have leader.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So if we ever get a leader like Dampare occupying the Jubilee House, I think we should be able to go far&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: [email\u00a0protected] (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
