The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called for the arrest of Eastern Regional Minister Mavis Ama Frimpong for impersonation.
According to the party, Ms Frimpong was holding herself out as Member of Parliament for Abirem, given she had distributed exercise books to pupils in her constituency with the caption: ‘Mavis Ama Frempong, MP for Abirem’.
The Abirem seat is currently occupied by Ms Esther Obeng Dapaah of the NPP, who will square off with Ms Frimpong of the NDC in December as she battles to return to parliament.
Speaking with Accra News on Sunday, September 25, the NPP’s Eastern Regional Director of Communications, David Prah, said the Minister’s false representation as MP was criminal, for which the police would have to pick her up for questioning.
“It is a deliberate attempt to impersonate the MP for Abirem, hence our call for her arrest. The Police should effect the arrest of the Regional Minister immediately and interrogate her on why she decided to impersonate the MP for Abirem,” Mr Prah stated.
He added that Ms Frimpong’s actions were “deliberate” and the NPP had contacted the IGP and the Abirem District Police Commander to apprehend her within seven days, failing which they would resort to an alternative means to bring her before the law.
“We are giving them a week. If she is not arrested, we will mobilise ourselves and arrest her as she makes her way to work and take her to the police station,” he threatened.
“We will apprehend her…in a citizen’s arrest. We will tell the people of Koforidua (the office of the Regional Directorate) that whoever will see Mavis Ama Frimpong, she is persona non grata. The regional minister is persona non grata, so if we see her we will arrest her and take her to the police station.”

u left university for 6 years and you are still home and u blame government. Then you just passed through university... i left polytechnic the same year as you did but i did not wait to be employed.. i now have over a 10000 poultry birds farm with 18 employees and i pay them every month...Do you know what you would have become if you were not holding a certificate and sitting idle looking for a Job?
This woman is so much obsessed of being an MP. She was the same woman who's Ndc thugs took the EC printing machines at the EC Office when they were doing the registrations .
YOU ARE A FOOL1SH GUY WHERE DID SEE A BILLBOARD ADDRESSING NANA SA H.E PRESIDENT IGNORAMUS!!!!
I have been unemployed since i left university 6 years ago. Why will I vote for the govt that has not done anything for me? I want things to change so that I have a chance at life. I will not continue with this my life by continuing to vote for Mahama and NDC. I will try someone new. If you are unemployed, please think about your situation and let us change it. We can change it by changing the people who run the country. Thank you
I like the talk show and brag of the man who is calling for the Minister arrest. In fact why not, he himself arrest the Minister and hand her to the Police now. He dare not!!. Hon AttaKyea, MP for Nana Constituency has a big billboard at Kibi junction off the Accra main road that says "dea ope adea ako kotoko no, yemmo no abro", meaning whoever seeks to get a good thing for kotoko should never be impeded or your family member should always be supported no matter what. The content id purely tribalism but all is silent on that. Communication director or whoever you call yourself, don't try because if you do, it will surely anger the residents of her hometown Akyem Afosu (within the Abirem CConstituency) per the billboard of Hon Attakyea and they will vote against Nana big time in the town. are you senseless or what? Common Sense is not common to the one calling for the arrest.
She contested in 2012 and got 45% of the votes ,but looking at the Presidential results it can safely be said that ,Abirem is one of the "CAN'T" win constituencies for NDC.May be she is being overly ambitious or or she just like the title
NDC people will never do anything good.Waa see this stupidiiiity.. Arrest her!
WHAT STERLING HOGWASH!!! DOES NANA ADDO NOT HAVE BILLBOARDS WHICH CALL HIM H.E. THE PRESIDENT?? WHO HAS EVEN SCOLDED HIM FOR IT?
Concert!
Eeeeeei NPP, you like talk ooooo, you won't campaign, talk talked nkoaaa and when you lose, you say you've been cheated. Gold medalist when it comes to insults. Day dreamers. 7
