The Minority in Parliament has stated that findings by the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) against the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta over US$ 2.25 million bond vindicate the minority’s position that the bond issuance was fraught with irregularities and did not comply with Ghanaian law.
According to the leadership of the Minority, CHRAJ in its summary of key findings noted several breaches of statutory regulations governing the issuance of bonds and cited the minister for conduct bordering on criminality.
The Minority in a statement signed and issued by its Leader, Haruna Iddrisu on Friday December 29, 2017 said: “It is the considered position of the Minority that the adverse findings contained in the decision of the CHRAJ vindicate our position that the US$ 2.25 Billion bond issuance was fraught with irregularities and did not comply with Ghanaian law”.
Below is the statement in full
MINORITY STATEMENT ON DAMNING FINDINGS AGAINST FINANCE MINISTER BY CHRAJ IN US$ 2.25 MILLION BOND INVESTIGATION
The Minority Caucus in Parliament has become aware of findings contained in the decision of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) on a complaint filed against the Finance Minister over the infamous US$ 2.25 billion bond in March this year.
Contrary to some publications on a number of online portals to the effect that the Finance Minister has been cleared of wrongdoing, CHRAJ in its decision agrees largely with our stated position from the very beginning that the bond issuance did not follow due process.
CHRAJ in its summary of key findings noted several breaches of statutory regulations governing the issuance of bonds and cited the Minister for conduct bordering on criminality.
It is the considered position of the Minority that the adverse findings contained in the decision of the CHRAJ vindicate our position that the US$ 2.25 Billion bond issuance was fraught with irregularities and did not comply with Ghanaian law.
We will engage the media next week to provide details of our position on the outcome of the investigations and consequential matters.
We wish Ghanaians a happy new year.
Haruna Iddrisu (MP)

NDC must call for arrest and prosecution of Dzifa Attivor for the corruption in the bus branding saga where monies over paid were refunded to the state.... That is what is called corruption. Leave Ken alone too do his job.... Corrupt NDC is only good in opposition.... We must keep them there forever.
THIS MAN CALL HIMSELF A LAWYER, HE CAN NOT EVEN READ TO UNDERSTAND SIMPLE ENGLISH WRITTEN BY CHRAG.THE WORD SAYS MR KEN IS CLEARED FROM ANY WRONG DOINGS. WHAT AGAIN DO MR HARUNA WANT?HARUNA IS A DISGRACE TO NDC.
Who will listen to these fo*ls in the minority only fo*ls will listen to fo*ls. Do they even understand what came out from CHRAJ ? They just jump outside we've been vindicated without reading to understand, may be they don't understand because of their Legon and GIMPA so some expressions are difficult for them to understand. They may need a 5th grader from America to teach them. Pitiful souls. Ndc are scared and ***barred word*** of Ken. Ofori Atta because he was schooled abroad and his father also the same and his father was a minister in the 2nd republic so they think they can just bring him down but who God has blessed nobody, nobody can destroy. Ndc enemies are successful people and privileged people, but who told them to come from where they come from? Hahahaha! Obi kra ne Nyame na Obi gyina h) ! Mo akra basaaa na mo life ay3 basaa why blame others? Your hate and jealousy won't send you anywhere but square one. Y'ABRE MO ! give us a brrrrrreak !
