The Minority in Parliament has accused the government of exploiting state institutions to intimidate its members and supporters. Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei condemned the alleged politically motivated raids on former appointees’ and minority MPs’ homes, warning that such actions threaten democracy and erode public trust in governance.
Patricia Appiagyei emphasized that Ghana belongs to all its citizens, and no administration should use state institutions against its opponents. The Minority demands an immediate, transparent, and independent investigation into the raids and insists those responsible must be held accountable.
The accusations come after a recent military raid on former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s residence, sparking outrage and speculation about political persecution. While the government hasn’t responded, the Office of the Special Prosecutor denied involvement in the raid.
The opposition is urging civil society, religious leaders, and the international community to take note of the alleged “wave of political persecution.” Patricia Appiagyei cautioned that history won’t judge kindly those who turn state institutions into instruments of oppression.
