General News of Tuesday, 14 May 2019Source: Graphic.com.ghEx-IGP rubbishes ‘woman can’t be IGP’ debateFormer Inspector General of Police (IGP) Patrick Kwarteng AcheampongA former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Patrick Kwarteng Acheampong, has dismissed as ‘outrageous’ and ‘atrociously false’, claims that women do not deserve the IGP post in Ghana because they are incapable of taking tough decisions. “I had personally worked closely with 7 past IGPs before becoming an IGP myself. I found nothing in the requirements of the job that women cannot handle. I have also seen at first hand women like Retired Commissioner Mrs. Jane Donkor and Mrs. Gifty Anin-Botwe at work as Senior Police Managers and these were as firm, fair and decisive as any male officer I worked with. He explains however that if a woman was found qualified enough for the job, she should be handed it as other countries have appointed women to the post.
