Justin Kodua Frimpong is General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has expressed concern over what it describes as increasing political interference in Ghana’s security agencies and judiciary under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, accused the government of turning key state institutions, which are expected to function independently, into political tools aimed at silencing critics and suppressing dissent.
“The party has held demonstrations and numerous press conferences reminding President John Mahama and his government that we are a nation of the rule of law. We have asked the NDC government to stop its continuous weaponisation of state security and the judiciary against political opponents,” he remarked.
Justin Kodua lamented that despite repeated appeals for fairness, the government has ignored calls for restraint.

According to him, Ghana’s democracy is “being slowly poisoned by the abuse of power.”
He further raised concerns about violations of constitutional rights, particularly Article 14 of the 1992 Constitution, which guarantees bail for persons arrested or detained.

“It is increasingly concerning that state security agencies continue to flout the Constitution of Ghana, particularly Article 14, with impunity.
“Unfortunately, all our calls are falling on deaf ears, but as a party, we shall not back down in our resolve to fight this injustice,” he emphasised.
