The Minority in Parliament has issued a stern warning to the government and the Attorney General, demanding an immediate end to what it describes as “unlawful raids, arbitrary arrests, and politically motivated harassment” of former government officials.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a press conference held on Monday, Second Deputy Minority Whip, Hon. Jerry Ahmed Shaib, condemned recent operations led by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) and National Security, describing them as blatant abuses of power designed to intimidate political opponents and distract from the government\u2019s current challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese midnight raids, arbitrary detentions, and unconstitutional actions have no place in a democracy,\u201d Hon. Shaib declared. \u201cState power must be exercised in good faith, not wielded as a weapon of political intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raids on High-Profile Individuals <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the Minority, recent operations targeting former officials\u2014including former Bank of Ghana Governor Dr. Ernest Addison, former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, and ex-Energy Minister John Peter Amewu\u2014lack due process and are in clear violation of constitutional protections.<\/p>\n

Citing Article 18 of the 1992 Constitution, the caucus emphasized the rights of individuals to privacy, liberty, and protection from arbitrary arrest and unlawful searches.<\/p>\n

The Minority detailed several incidents, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A February 10 raid on Mr. Ofori-Atta\u2019s residence, reportedly conducted without a warrant while he was abroad.<\/p>\n

A March 5 invasion of Hon. John Peter Amewu\u2019s Hohoe residence by armed men claiming to be National Security operatives.<\/p>\n

Dr Ernest Addison<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The arrest of former National Signals Bureau Director, Mr. Kwabena Adu Boahene, at Kotoka International Airport on March 21, alongside his wife and pastor, who have allegedly been held for over 48 hours without charge.<\/p>\n

“How do you treat top security actors this way in a country governed by the rule of law?” Shaib questioned. “These tactics are reminiscent of a coup era, not a constitutional democracy.”<\/p>\n

Criticism of the Attorney General The Minority also reserved sharp criticism for the Attorney General, accusing him of overstepping his role by ordering arrests and leading investigations\u2014actions they argue undermine the rule of law.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Attorney General is not an investigator, nor a judge. His role is to provide legal advice after investigations are concluded, not to direct security operations,\u201d said Hon. Shaib. \u201cHe is now conducting inquisitions and attempting to convict political opponents in the court of public opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring specifically to the raid on Dr. Addison\u2019s residence, the Minority questioned the legality of the operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there was a valid court-issued warrant, why was it not shown? Why was his CCTV system dismantled and taken? These are not the hallmarks of a lawful search,\u201d Shaib asserted.<\/p>\n

He added that reports of an apology from the National Security Coordinator to Dr. Addison via the phone of Richard Jakpa further cast doubt on the legitimacy of the raid.<\/p>\n

Rejecting the \u201cNew Modus Operandi<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Minority condemned what they see as a new political strategy by the ruling government to use security institutions as tools of repression.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new approach of parading political opponents in handcuffs, keeping them in custody without charge, and leaking details to the media must stop,\u201d Shaib said. \u201cIf you have evidence against someone, take it to court. If not, stop maligning people with press conferences and raids.\u201d<\/p>\n

They also rejected suggestions by Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai that MPs are abusing parliamentary privilege.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not MPs who are abusing constitutional protections, it is the state security apparatus that has been weaponized for political ends,\u201d Shaib responded.<\/p>\n

A Call for Accountability and Restraint <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Minority warned that Ghana\u2019s democracy cannot thrive under \u201ca climate of fear and selective justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are clear in our minds that these actions are a diversion from the government\u2019s struggles with economic management, illegal mining, and power crises. But intimidating opponents is not the solution,\u201d Shaib said.<\/p>\n

He called on civil society, the media, and all Ghanaians to speak out against what he termed “a growing trend of institutional abuse.”<\/p>\n

\u201cLet the courts decide guilt or innocence. Let evidence\u2014not vengeance\u2014guide our justice system,\u201d he concluded. \u201cGhana deserves better.\u201d<\/p>\n
