Minister of State for Government Communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has justified the Attorney General’s decision to discontinue certain court cases, arguing that politically motivated prosecutions should not waste public resources.
Speaking on Joy FM’s Newsnight on February 10, he described the cases as frivolous and malicious rather than evidence-based.
“How is it that the former chairman of the NDC was put before court for years over an alleged meeting to discuss responses to political violence, while those responsible for attacking innocent citizens have never been prosecuted?” he questioned.
He further accused the previous administration of using legal proceedings to silence critics and emphasized that the Attorney General would soon hold a press conference to explain the rationale behind the move.
