Minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has condemned the raid on former Finance Minister, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta’s residence maintaining the action was unlawful.
Reacting to the development in the House on Wednesday, February 12, the Effutu MP and Minority leader questioned the legal basis for the raid undertaken by some persons believed to be security personnel.
“There was no such law supporting the actions. The contention here was that the man’s home was raided unlawfully. That conduct was unconstitutional…we’re not sending the right signals to the electorates,” the Minority leader argued.
However, his other colleague on the other side of the aisle, Mahama Ayariga, who’s the Majority Leader cautioned against wrongfully choosing the chamber of parliament to address a legal matter.
“You go to court for the court to declare that your property and dignity has been violated. In court the two sides will be there…” he noted.
Meanwhile, the Majority leader said he will apprise the House on the full facts on the raid on the residence of the former Minister.
