    Member of Parliament for Kwadaso and former Deputy Education Minister, Professor Kingsley Nyarko, has strongly criticised the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) for its handling of the case involving Chairman Wontumi.

    Professor Nyarko described EOCO’s actions as a “total abuse of power” and “political intimidation,” reminiscent of Ghana’s military junta era.

    He expressed particular concern over the ‘outrageous’ bail condition of 50 million Ghanaian cedis, which he believes violates Article 14(4) of the Constitution.

    The MP urged President John Dramani Mahama to intervene and put an end to what he termed “political persecution” and “majoritarian tyranny.”

    He emphasised the need for the government to focus on critical national priorities rather than engaging in politically motivated harassment.

    While acknowledging that no one is above the law, Professor Nyarko stressed the importance of treating everyone fairly and affording them due process.

    He warned that the current approach risks undermining Ghana’s democracy and reverting to oppressive governance styles of the past.

    Referring to historical precedents, he recalled the 2003 case involving Victor Salome, where bail was granted following proper legal procedures, underscoring the need for consistency and fairness in the application of justice.

    The MP further emphasised that the government should focus on critical national priorities such as job creation, improving living standards, and ensuring reliable power supply rather than engaging in politically motivated harassment.

    Professor Nyarko also highlighted that no individual, including Chairman Wontumi, is above the law.

    However, he insisted that everyone deserves to be treated fairly and afforded due process.

    He cautioned against conflating unrelated issues such as Wontumi’s public display of wealth with criminality, as suggested by some NDC supporters, and called for investigations and court proceedings to be transparent and just.

    Professor Nyarko called on all stakeholders to recommit to democracy, transparency, and respect for human rights, emphasising that this kind of political intimidation and abuse of power must stop to maintain peace, stability, and trust in institutions.
