Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has told Parliament that the unlawful entering of the private residence of the former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori Atta is regrettable and has gotten assurance from the National Security Coordinator that it will not be repeated.
This follows a statement made by the deputy Minority whip Habib Iddrisu on the floor of the House on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, and the Majority Leader promised to carry out some investigation and brief the House when various commentaries were made on the floor of the House.
“I am making these remarks on behalf of the President John Dramani Mahama who said he will reset Ghana which means everybody should act in compliance with the law and the mandate of the state institutions”.
He stated that it is true that the private residence of Ken Ofori Atta was raided by the operatives of the National Security and police led by someone who works at the National Security Coordinator’s office, Mr. Gyakpa. And added that they have investigated the matter and assured Ghanaians and Parliamentarians that they have received assurance of the National Security Coordinator that it was not their intention for that to happen; adding, “that occurrence is most regrettable and unfortunate” and giving his word to the House that a thing like that will not happen again.
Again, we have a constitution to uphold; it has in it embedded fundamental human rights and right to privacy and President John Mahama remained committed to ensure that the right and liberty of every individual is respected.
