Mabel Aku Baneseh an award-winning journalist was impressed with the initiative.

Impressive.

Emmanuel Ofori said Dampare is a legend.

A Revolutionary leader we have now. Dampare is a legend.

Abdul Hameed lauded the initiative since having to commute to work in trotro can be very demotivating.

This is a very good initiative. The stress of Trotro alone is a demotivating factor for any worker especially the police. On a lighter note, drivers can now stop asking us to move to the back for Papa Police to have the front seat. Kudos to the police leadership ·
