The Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery, emphasized that no Member of Parliament (MP) is above the law following the attempted arrest of Akwatia MP, Henry Boakye-Yiadom. The incident arose during a police operation aimed at apprehending him in connection with various criminal charges. Dery reiterated that all citizens, including MPs, must be held accountable for their actions and highlighted the government's commitment to enforcing the law impartially.
