Private legal practitioner Thaddeus Sory has strongly criticised the actions of the Special Prosecutor (SP) and Parliament in their handling of the pursuit of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
Sory, in an opinion piece, questioned the fairness of SP Kissi Agyebeng's conduct in declaring Ofori-Atta a fugitive from justice and labelling security officials who invaded his home as rogues, as well as the necessity of Parliament's involvement in the matter.
At the core of Sory's argument is the fundamental principle of justice that no individual should be judged without first being heard.
He says this principle, deeply rooted in natural law, was demonstrated even in biblical accounts where Adam was given the opportunity to explain himself before facing consequences.
