Attempted arrest of Baffour Awuah was unjustified and dangerous – Kyei-Mensah-BonsuFormer Majority Leader of Parliament Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has questioned the attempted arrest of Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, describing the incident as unjustified and dangerous to Ghana’s democracy. Speaking on the Joy Super Morning Show, Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu argued that an earlier invitation from the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) was directed at the law firm where Mr Baffour Awuah is a senior partner rather than at him personally. “The matter for the invitation really was not against the person of lawyer Ajii Baffour. It was directed at the office of the law firm at which he operates,” he said. According to the former Majority Leader, the firm was contacted as an entity and its senior partner, who had subsequently become a Member of Parliament, was asked to assist with an investigation in his capacity as an officer of the firm. Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said Mr Baffour Awuah consulted the Clerk of Parliament after receiving the invitation and was advised that another senior officer of the law firm could represent it.MyJoyOnline
