Member of Parliament (MP) for Sagnarigu Constituency, Alhaji A.B.A. Fuseini has stated that the Minority in Parliament will resist the “witch-hunting” of National Democratic Congress (NDC) officials and former government appointees following a CID raid at the home of former Power Minister Dr Kwabena Donkor in connection with the controversial GHS510 Ameri deal.
“I can assure you that under our leader Haruna Iddrisu, the Minority will certainly not allow such infractions of the law to go unanswered and I’m sure that within the next day or two you will hear from the Minority especially from our leadership,” he told Jonas Ofori Yeboah on Class91.3FM’s 505 news programme on Monday, July 24.
Four officers of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service led by an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) on Monday dawn stormed the Spintex residence of the Pru East MP.
The officers got to his private residence while he was still asleep. He is being investigated for willfully causing financial loss with regards to the AMERI deal.
The CID search, ClassFMonline.com understands, occurred for between two and three hours. His four pen drives and laptop were seized by the officers.
Dr Donkor has, however, said that he “will petition the Speaker because I am a sitting MP” and there is a certain protocol which has to be followed but has been breached.
His colleague Mr Fuseini holds a strong view that officials of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) are behind the actions of the police.
“Just last week you heard leading NPP appointees and functionaries including Yaw Osafo Maafo in an address to NPP people in Brong Ahafo, he came out openly to say that they are almost getting ready to embark on the witch-hunt of going after NDC appointees and functionaries then they start these exercises, so we have been aware that these things they are doing are the works of the NPP, especially so when they have nothing positively to show after seven months in government,” he alleged.
“Is it not intriguing that there are laws in this country and a government that touts its credentials as law and order government [and] knows the law about how to invite Members of Parliament; they are cognisant and the police are the frontline law enforcement agency so how could they be the first to be breaching laws like this? We know they have to pass it through the Rt Hon Speaker. How did they choose in the case of Dr Kwabena Donkor, who they know truly well is a Member of Parliament and they violate [the law] and go and raid his house?” he questioned.
“So, when they wake up early morning and their house is inundated with security people, sometimes uniformed, it sends them into a panic. There will be needless attempts to humiliate the family and petrify them to nothing and that does not augur well for a democracy such as ours,” he added.
Even though he admitted that every Ghanaian is subject to the laws of the country, Mr Fuseini said he does not understand the basis for raiding Dr Donkor’s home when no charges have been brought forward against the former minister officially.
“Has the minister formally been charged? Has he formally been told that he has been charged for causing financial loss? Are we in a jungle? Are we not governed by laws of this country?” he queried.
For him, the development only points to “an element of vindictiveness”, stating that “everyone is subject to the law but we are talking about the manner which suggests clearly that it is a witch-hunt”.

OH NDC WHEN HON. KENNEDY AGYAPON WAS ARRESTED BY THE BNI WAS HE NOT AN MP? HE WAS BEHIND BARS FOR MORE THAN TWO DAYS. NDC YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING YET WAIT TILL THE IND. PROSECUTION COMES TO OFFICE WORST THINGS WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR PARTY.
NDC members are simply funny.On one side we will "RESIST" Now they are saying they are being "WITCH-HAUNT" but the question is na who cause AM? They must be ready for more prosecution by the state. For 8years NDC led by JOHN MAHAMA never allowed Ghanaians to sleep each and every day CORRUPTION from JUDGEMENT debt will strike the country. But now they want to sleep. NOWAY, it will never happen.
Hon. Fuseini please wait till Hon Donkor is put in the dock and then you can put up the resistance. Do you know the high tariffs we are paying is as a result of these bogus deals signed by your government? Hon Donkor has admitted that there are 'skelectal defects' with the agreement. Have you bothered to ask him? You are a representative of the people. Are you saying this is what the people you represent want?
Let them resist and we shall apply force. We can allow pen robbers dangerous than armed robbers to threaten us with we shall resist we shall do this who are you? If Ghanaians like you you wouldn't have been disgraced and humiliated like this. We the people of Ghana has asked the government to get our monies the past ndc appointees and functionaries lo*ted from the state and if you think we have no power to get our monies we shall equally show to the ndc the power and the laws of the land are in our hands and we shall use it according to the laws of our land . Mo aboboadam. You think you can bully Akufo Addo?do you ndc think you can intimidate the man? You laughable,you laughable paapa! Akufo Addo is a true and authentic Ghanaians no bend no curve and he will never allow some kriminals to lo*t the country and issue threats,even when power wasn't in his hands he wasn't easy how much more with power,his leniency isn't weakness. Only fo*ls take that as weakness and cry witch hunting. If there are witches they must be hunted and any resistance will be equally met with a force from the people. We want our monies back! That's it! And culprits imprisoned. A.B. A Fuseini you can go to hell you can't do nothing to change nothing in the laws of our country. The law is working to punish all thi* ves who went into the public sector to ste*l. That one you don't understand? Then tighten your belt because more are coming including you. Hahahaha! Ghana b3y3 d3 papa! Next time after 40 years when ndc get the chance you will learn sense there is a difference between public sector and private sector.
Now all that we hear from the NDC led by Haruna Iddrisu is we will resist this or that. Jokers!!!
If there are witches ...they must be hunted ...period. Nobody wants to stay with a witch.
New political word "RESIST". You will resist what?. Politics will spoil this country. If it becomes clear that one has cause financial loss to the state, we should leave him because of his/her political affiliations. How can we grow as a nation.
