The Member of Parliament for Oforikrom, Michael Kwasi Addo, has cautioned the ruling government against setting dangerous precedents through its actions, particularly in the handling of accountability for former officials.
Reacting to the arrest of Maxwell Kofi Jumah, the former Managing Director of GIHOC Distilleries Company Limited, by national security personnel at his residence in Kumasi, Kwasi Addo in an interview on Joy Prime on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, expressed concern that the excessive force used by the operatives in effecting the arrest was unnecessary.
According to him, even if Kofi Jumah had committed any wrongdoing, the security operatives should have considered his age and frail condition and treated him with greater care.
Kwasi Addo, a member of the (NPP), warned that a future government might retaliate, cautioning the current administration to act with restraint and uphold due process. "I believe the way we are going about things in the country; we have to be careful.
