Minority Demands Immediate End to Harassment of Former Government Officials
The Deputy Minority caucus in Parliament have condemned the alleged harassment of former government officials, calling for an immediate cessation of such actions.
This comes after reports of raids on the residences of former Finance Minister Kenneth Ofori-Atta and former Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the National Investigations Bureau (NIB).
Addressing media in parliament, the Deputy Leader Hon Patricia Appiagyei emphasized the need for due process, stating that “a proper legal process must be followed in all matters.”
She warned against using security forces for political vendettas, describing it as a “dangerous step towards lawlessness.”
The Minority urged the government to not only stop the alleged harassment but also to arrest and prosecute those responsible.
“We demand that the government arrest and prosecute all those responsible for these actions immediately,” Appiagyei concluded.
This development follows the OSP’s declaration of Mr. Ofori-Atta as a fugitive.
The Minority’s call for an end to harassment and adherence to due process highlights concerns about the rule of law and accountability in Ghana’s political landscape.
