The Independent says it can reveal authoritatively that the Inspector-General of Police Peter Nanfuri and the Director of the Bureau of National Investigations – Yaw Donkor are out of their jobs.
What is stalling the announcement from the President’s office, especially in the case of the IGP, our sources say, is the problem of choosing from four equally qualified short-listed candidates for the job.
As at press time yesterday, the National Security Advisor was conferring with the President on who succeeds the BNI BOSS Yaw Donkor.
Like the case of the IGP, Yaw Donkor’s dismissal is only being delayed because the government is still weighing the options with regard to who among the short-listed candidates would be more suitable for the job.
When contacted Hon. Malik Alhassan, the Minister designate for the interior confirmed that the BNI boss, Yaw Donkor has indeed been replaced.
He could however not give the name of Yaw Donkor’s successor because discussions were still ongoing in that direction. Government according to sources has only twenty four hours to announce the new BNI boss.
In the case of Nanfuri the source said he has only three more days hang on as the inspector General of Police.
Informed sources in government circles hinted The Independent that President Kufuor’s dilemma is premised on his assembly of equally competent personnel that has been short-listed for the position of the inspector General Police.
