Minority wants National Security coordinator summoned over Ofori-Atta’s residence raid

Minority in Parliament is calling for the immediate summoning of the National Security Coordinator following a reported raid on the residence of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

On Tuesday afternoon, a group of individuals, including some in military and police uniforms, allegedly stormed Ofori-Atta’s residence in Cantonments while he was reportedly out of the country.

Raising concerns on the floor of Parliament, First Deputy Minority Whip Habib Iddrisu strongly condemned the incident, describing it as a threat to Ghana’s democratic values.

“Mr Speaker, Ghana has been noted for the democracy that we have been enjoying, and yesterday, the former Minister responsible for Finance, Mr. Ofori-Atta’s house was raided by National Security operatives allegedly,” he stated.

Iddrisu further noted that Ofori-Atta had officially informed the Chief of Staff of his absence from the country and had received approval to travel. He questioned why such a raid would take place despite this prior notice.

“Mr Speaker, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta has officially written to the Chief of Staff that he will not be in the country, and he was given that opportunity, and he left. It is not acceptable,” he said.

He also referenced a recent incident involving former Defence Minister Dominic Nitiwul, who was allegedly pursued by security operatives while driving to Parliament.

“Two weeks ago, the former Defence Minister, Nitiwul, was stopped, and his car was chased to Parliament to be seized. Mr Speaker, this is not the democracy that we are all enjoying, and for former ministers’ houses to be raided, I think the National Security Minister needs to come around and explain,” he asserted.

The Minority is now demanding accountability from the National Security leadership to clarify the circumstances surrounding these incidents.
