Attorney General Dares Critics

"The Attorney General and minister for justice, Papa Owusu Ankomah has thrown a challenge to anyone who claim to have evidence of corruption against any member of the NPP government to make such information available to the state investigative institutions like the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) for them to conduct their independent investigations.

He said if such evidence is made available to those institutions and they establish a prima facie case of corruption against any minister, he, as the attorney general, would make sure that minister is brought before court for prosecution without any favour.

Speaking at a meeting with his constituents in Sekondi last Saturday, the Attorney general said people should not be going round making all sorts of accusations against members of the government when as a matter of fact nobody has come forward with any concrete evidence to that effect.........

He noted that the zero tolerance for corruption that the Kufuor-led government is championing is not meant for ministers of state alone but all NPP supporters and Ghanaians as a whole. He called on the critics to look at this carefully and stop making unfounded allegations against ministers.

The Sekondi MP also expressed surprise that some supporters of the NPP have joined the “we haven’t seen nothing” chorus that the opposition is singing. He appealed to the supporters not to think about their stomach only but also about the mind, which would help the government to carry out the development of the country....."
