A Committee of seven, consisting of three members each from the Majority and the Minority caucuses of Parliament, and a technical person has been proposed to probe the leaked audio recording proposing the clandestine ouster of the Inspector General of Police.
Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumana Bagbin who proposed the Special Committee on Thursday, said he expects the name of the members within one week, according to JoyNews Parliamentary Correspondent Kwaku Asante.
The controversial audio is said to have leaked from a conversation between a top police officer and persons suspected to be affiliated with the ruling New Patriotic Party.

The conversation on the recording suggests solicitations by an unnamed influence-peddling policeman seeking that the current Inspector General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare be ousted from office so someone more sympathetic to the cause of the ruling party replaces him.
The whole plot, per the conversation, is to get the police to support the rigging of Election 2024 in favour of the ruling NPP.
The Minority MPs have protested vehemently against the alleged plot, and have called for a forensic probe to fish out those engaged in the unhealthy conversation so they may face the law.
MPs on the Majority side have doubted the authenticity of the recording and have also denied any association with or desire to rig any election, saying the NPP will win the 2024 polls cleanly.
