Three government officials of the erstwhile Mahama administration have been invited by the Police Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to assist with an ongoing probe into the alleged financial misappropriation in the AMERI Power deal.
The Former Power Minister, Dr. Kwabena Donkor, his deputy, John Jinapor and former Deputy Attorney General, Dominic Ayine have all indicated their readiness to honour the invite by the CID.
Nonetheless speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' regarding the Police raid at the residence of the government officials, PPP Director of Operations Nana Ofori Owusu has called on Parliament to be "aggressive" in protecting the House and its members.
According to him, there is a Parliamentary provision in the 1992 Constitution which ensures that a Member of Parliament is not raided by the Police when he or she is either going to or coming from Parliament or undertaking a Parliamentary assignment.
Nana Ofori Owusu, though noting down some adverse effects of such provision, he however wants the Legislative body to use the constitutional provision to protect the sanctity of the House and safeguard the members.
He also noted that the Speaker of Parliament Prof. Mike Oquaye, Inspector General of Police David Asante-Apeatu and Interior Minister Ambrose Dery are all approved by the President, and so expects them to work in harmony.
He wants the House to corporate with all the appropriate institutions and find a better approach to address the issue.

Are you stuuuuupiiid? Are MPs above the law? Is it not our money that is used to pay them even though they have done nothing to improve Ghana. If MPs have stolen our money should they be protected? Nana Ofori, you are a moddda foooking moda fokkkkker, I will slap you till u eat ***barred word*** and die.
Sometimes it is better not to talk than to talk and expose all fuuuuuuuuulish doubts as Nana Ofori is doing. Nana Ofori Owusu is talking pure non sense. Oneday the good people of Ghana will rise above the constitution and remove all "stuppiid" clauses that protects former presidents and kriminal MPs from arrest. We are fed up with corruption in the country. The same politicians who steal protect themselves with laws what kind of country is that?
Are you suggesting that inimical and unlawful conduct should be encourage in parliament for members? that is why the Africa is not progressing. we steal government funds and justify it. it does not make sense.
