Private legal practitioner and radio show host, Maurice Ampaw, has shared how ruthless he would be with officials of the incumbent Mahama government should there be a change of power and he is appointed Executive Director of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
The outspoken lawyer, commenting on the GH₵50 million bail condition set for the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, stated that he would impose even tougher bail conditions on officials from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under investigation.
According to him, he would go as far as demanding Jesus Christ and Angel Michael as part of the sureties before such officials would be released from EOCO custody.
“The way chiefs in this country have remained quiet amid political persecution and harassment, they should continue to stay silent. If power changes and I am appointed to head EOCO, and an NDC official is being investigated for corruption, I will impose bail conditions far more difficult than the GH₵50 million set for Chairman Wontumi.
As part of the sureties to be justified for the bail, I will ask the NDC official to present Jesus Christ and Angel Michael. So the NDC should continue harassing their political opponents. This is their time, so they should enjoy it. The tables will soon turn,” he declared.
Last week, the 2024 Presidential Candidate of the NPP, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, expressed disappointment after efforts to meet the GH₵50 million bail condition for Chairman Wontumi proved unsuccessful.
Dr. Bawumia criticized the bail terms, stating:
“I must put on record that the bail conditions set for Chairman Wontumi — GH₵50 million — are very onerous. I don’t know how many people in Ghana own property worth that amount. It appears designed to delay his release.”
When power changes and I get the opportunity to be EOCO boss, I will ask the NDC’s to provide Jesus Christ and Angel Michael as their bail condition ~ Lawyer Maurice Ampaw pic.twitter.com/2HihV5FSCH
