Government has firmly defended its decision to discontinue what it deems politically motivated court cases, following criticism from investigative journalist Manasseh Awuni Azure and others.
Minister of State for Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has justified the Attorney-General's move, arguing that the cases in question were frivolous and malicious rather than evidence based.
Speaking on Joy FM's Newsnight on Monday, February 10, Mr.
Kwakye Ofosu questioned why opposition figures were subjected to lengthy legal battles while state-sponsored perpetrators of political violence remained untouched. "I have always maintained that what justification existed for prosecuting Ofosu Ampofo and leaving out the state-sponsored terrorists who engaged in the mayhem at the Ayawaso West by-election?" he asked.
