Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has strongly condemned the raid on the residence of former finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to Afenyo-Markin, the operation lacked any legal basis and set a dangerous precedent for governance.
“There was no such law supporting the actions. The contention here was that the man’s home was raided unlawfully.
“That conduct was unconstitutional… we’re not sending the right signals to the electorates,” he argued on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, February 12.
His remarks add to growing concerns over the rule of law and due process, especially when it involves high-profile figures.
The raid, reportedly carried out by state authorities, has sparked heated debate, with opposition figures questioning whether the act was politically motivated.
However, the Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, urged restraint and advised against using the parliamentary chamber to litigate legal matters.
“You go to court for the court to declare that your property and dignity has been violated. In court, the two sides will be there…” he cautioned.
