After military and police forces raided former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s home, the majority in Parliament apologized to him.
A member of the National Security Coordinator’s office named Richard Jakpa led the operation, according to the Majority’s probe into the incident.
Majority leader Mahama Ayariga addressed the matter on the floor of Parliament, calling the raid unfortunate and reaffirming the Mahama government’s commitment to upholding the rights of all citizens.
“H.E. President John Dramani Mahama remains committed to ensuring that the rights and liberties of every individual are respected. We have received assurances from the office of the National Security Coordinator that the incident was not intended to happen.
“That occurrence is most regrettable and unfortunate and he [Jakpa] wants to give this house his words and assurances that a thing like that should never happen again.
“The Majority remains committed that institutions function properly, officials act in accordance with the law, that the rights and liberties of citizens are upheld under the leadership of President Mahama. I personally extend my apologies to the former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta and I believe the issue should suffice.”
