The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mubarak, is set to appear before Parliament to provide details on the search warrant executed at the residence of former Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison.
This follows growing public outcry and demands for accountability after a team of heavily armed National Security operatives raided Dr. Addison’s Roman Ridge home on March 19.
The incident, which saw officers disabling CCTV cameras and ransacking the property, has raised concerns about due process and the motives behind the operation.
Lawmakers, particularly from the Minority, have called for full disclosure on the legality and justification for the raid, insisting that Parliament must hold the government accountable for the actions of security agencies.
The Interior Minister is expected to clarify the basis for the search warrant and the allegations leading to the operation.
He is also expected to explain the role of National Security operatives and their conduct during the raid, why Dr. Addison's residence was targeted, and whether similar actions are planned for other officials.
But Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga says the Interior Minister will not be available on March 25 adding that a later date will be announced for his appearance.

He also explained that the incident was not a raid but rather a properly executed search warrant carried out in accordance with the law.
"Law enforcement officers lawfully went there to conduct a search and it is perfectly lawful. And so using the word raid is clearly wrong," he said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Addison and his family remain distressed after the raid, with close associates describing the incident as traumatising and unwarranted.
