The Minority caucus in Parliament has condemned what it describes as a growing trend of political witch-hunt, characterised by state-sponsored aggression, targeted attacks, and harassment of former government officials.
According to the group, these actions undermine democracy and erode public confidence in Ghana's governance.
Addressing journalists at a press briefing in Parliament yesterday, the Deputy Minority Leader, Patricia Appiagyei, stated that the political climate was taking a dangerous turn, with state institutions being weaponised to settle political scores.
She cited the raid on the private residence of former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta, by armed military personnel and police officers on Wednesday as a glaring example of this alleged abuse of power. "The armed officers, without any warrant, forcibly broke into Mr Ofori Atta's house, ransacked the premises, and left after finding nothing," Mrs Appiagyei said.
