Eh, because he's a fellow parliamentarian you're ignoring the fact that we all know your government is doing the same in Ghana. Don't you have any shame? I thought you would rather use this matter to tell the NPP that this happens everywhere so they shouldn't make noise when it's being done to their thieving brigade.

Back off, Dafeamekpor, for trying to defend the indefensible. The Netherlands and United States are law abiding countries where the rule of law works, unlike Ghana.

They need to investigate the guy well to ascertain if there's any reason for early bail on the allegations leveled against him. We all know if he was to be arrested in Ghana, he would still have been sleeping under his air-conditioned room, office, chauffeured around and have state provided body guards around him.

Chill and allow the laws of that country where he was apprehended and sought after does its work. With time, those authorities will surely come out with favourable investigative reports for both parties. But until then, let the so called mp taste a bit of lifestyle in detention awaiting results of the investigations of money laundering allegations against him.

Dafeamekpor, when did it cross your mind to question the source of Frimpong's wealth, and do you understand the meaning of "Money laundering"? I am not a lawyer, but that act is an international crime which is not tolerated anywhere in the world.

If you think the guy is a member of parliament and would be released, you are just blowing hot dried air because all his accomplices in the US have been arrested, and the authorities were just waiting for him.

That's the hypocrisy of NDC members.If it were to be an NPP member who has been arrested, the NDC by now would have been seen on all TV and radio stations trumpeting their lies and propaganda.

What I meant: if he had been arrested and detained in Ghana, NPP would have found some reason to play tribal politics about it. They would claim the man is an Akan that's why NDC is detaining him. Afenyo-Markin and Annor-Dompreh would have held press conferences and do 'aluta' on that ...

Finally, note that I do not join any party in Ghana, never voted in Ghana and will never do so. I'm not even a party sympathizer, but I write based on observation from what I read and hear on GhanaWeb.

Dafeamekpor has explicitly shown his real hypocrisy today. He has no problem when an animal judge at the Adenta court remands his FELLOW GHANAIAN CITIZEN into custody until the final determination of just a misdemeanor case, but has a problem with a foreign court remanding his party member of a suspect serious crime? Dafeamekpor should tell President Mahama to change the judge presiding over OK Frimpong's case. Naniama!

I wonder what's going on in Ghana for some years now, should we make politics out of any case.. What I know is, Amsterdam is the headquarters of police in EU, for this people to detain him or arrest you, it means they already have the evidence, they don't just arrest people like we do in Ghana and elsewhere in Africa. It could be more than 10years of survance, they might even have videos and documents to support everything. The only thing that can help him is devine intervention, good lawyer or the plead deal, even the president of the land is beyond it, let's pray for him and stop either NDC or NPP. He is a Ghanaian.

Yes, the international Court of Justice is domicile here in the Niederlands. Everything is not about bail when suspected criminals are held into custody. A bail is not a right but qualification. When you rob in Ghana you get no bail, but when you steal the public you get a bail. This MP is suspect, and should be treated like any other suspect. Why are politicians crying for him?
