NPP not against accountability, but concerned about treatment of members after arrests – Baffour Awuah

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is not opposed to investigations or accountability, but the manner in which some of its members are treated after arrests has raised concerns, according to Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, Vice Chair of Parliament’s Subsidiary Legislation Committee and Member of the Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee.

His comments follow the recent arrest of Dennis Miracles Aboagye, Director of Communications for the 2024 campaign team of former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over investigations into alleged financial irregularities involving about GH¢55 million at the Inter-Ministerial Coordinating Committee on Decentralisation (IMCCoD) where Mr Aboagye was previously Executive Secretary.“However, the manner in which our people are handled then gives suggestions that it is not merely for accountability, but other things, and that is why these things happen.
