Don’t use Parliament to intimidate law enforcement agencies – Ayariga cautions MPs

Outgoing Majority Leader in Parliament, Mahama Ayariga, has cautioned politicians against using Parliament as a platform to intimidate law enforcement agencies or interfere with investigations into alleged criminal conduct.

Mr Ayariga urged Members of Parliament to respect the independence of law enforcement institutions and refrain from using parliamentary proceedings to undermine ongoing investigations.

Mr Ayariga said holding political office should not place anyone above the law, stressing that Parliament’s role in passing laws must be matched by respect for the institutions responsible for enforcing them.
