The Minority is calling on the John Dramani Mahama led government to follow due process to arrange former appointees of the Nana Akufo-Addo before court if they have any case against them than raiding their residence like they did in the case of the immediate past Governor Dr. Ernest Addison and several former appointees.
Addressing the media on Monday, March 24, 2025, Jerry Ahmed called on the media to advocate against such backward behavior as Ghana is progress and moving forward.
When questioned on his view about appointees of John Mahama in his first administration where appointees suffered the same fate in 2016 when there was change of government, he said, “It may be me today, it maybe you tomorrow you would not know which position you would be occupying, let people allow the structures to work. As the chief legal adviser to the people and to government, what you must do is to adhere to the very principles of the constitution”.
“Again, we should stop the conversation that happened previously. Why are we in government; are we in government to always think of retribution, are we in government to always be using state power to just empower ourselves to the detriment and neglect of people? There is a need for us to have genuine conversations about the way forward.
Allow the state structures to work; let us not make state structures partisan, all we are saying is that this is becoming persistent and consistent and if this is the way to go that is not what we are looking for”.
Jerry Ahmed s added that he does not think the president had this overwhelming vote by Ghanaians to come and perpetuate this illegality. “Ghanaians voted for you because they needed a change and that change should resonate in the way and life style of the people in your action”.
In addition, why would I vote for you when you promise to do better in addressing galamsey and it is becoming worse? We voted for better standard of living and there is increase in transport fairs, we should have the mentality of Ghana first and change from our old ways of doing things, he affirmed.
