Former Special Prosecutor has condemned the recent invasion of the residence of former Minister of Finance , demanding that President clarify whether he sanctioned the raid or if it was carried out without his knowledge.
He asserted that allowing those responsible to go unpunished would weaken public trust in the rule of law, emphasizing that such violations must be met with accountability to uphold justice.
In a statement issued on Friday, February 14, 2025, described the operation as a blatant violation of fundamental rights, asserting that, as head of the executive, President John Mahama bears ultimate responsibility. "And for President John Mahama particularly, this invasion under his watch, if he did not authorize it, should call to mind the invasion of the late Professor John Evans Atta Mills' residence in 2002 during his absence while in Canada and the humiliation his dear wife was subjected to during the unwarranted search under the John Agyekum Kufuor government. "The repeat of such impunity twenty-two years down the line must not go unpunished under President Mahama's watch if he really intends to reset this country forward and not backward to the gone-by years of the coup mentality," it added.
also criticized the Majority in Parliament for downplaying the incident. "The Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, cannot exercise executive authority on behalf of the President of Ghana and speak on his behalf in such an important matter that affects the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens to the right to privacy of their homes," it noted.
