Ernest Owusu-Bempah, a Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has made a formal request to the Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, to initiate investigations into the ‘fake’ Agyapadie document.
Owusu-Bempah cited the 1960 Criminal Offenses Act 1960 (Act 29) as the basis for his call for investigation and prosecution. According to the Act, any false publication that has the tendency to cause public unrest is considered a misdemeanor.
The ‘fake’ Agyapadie document has been a subject of controversy, with many questioning its authenticity. Owusu-Bempah believes that the document’s publication was a deliberate attempt to cause public unrest and undermine the government’s efforts.
In a statement, Owusu-Bempah emphasized the need for urgent action from the Inspector General of Police. He demanded that those behind the publication be arrested and brought to face the full force of the law.
Owusu-Bempah’s call for action is seen as a move to hold accountable those who seek to destabilize the country through false information. He believes that the Inspector General of Police has a critical role to play in maintaining public order and upholding the law. The 1960 Criminal Offenses Act 1960 (Act 29) provides a clear framework for dealing with such cases
