Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has stated that his side of the House has no objection to former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta being held accountable but insists that the state must follow due process.
Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, February 12, Afenyo-Markin emphasised that if Ofori-Atta has committed any wrongdoing, he should be taken to court, where his lawyers would have the opportunity to defend him. "We are talking about the mode of the raid of the arrest; we are not saying that if the state has evidence against Ken Ofori-Atta, you should try him.
If indeed there is an issue against him, the state can try him, then he can have access to his lawyers, but you cannot accuse him that the man is guilty," he stated.
He reiterated that the Minority is only concerned with ensuring that legal procedures are properly adhered to in handling the case.
