The Minority in Parliament has accused state security agencies of exhibiting bias and engaging in selective justice in their handling of political matters.
Their concerns follow the National Intelligence Bureau’s (NIB) swift interrogation of the Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, over comments he made regarding the disputed Abekluma North parliamentary election results.
Mr Annoh-Dompreh had urged New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters to “protect their own,” or fight NDC supporters who attack NPP supporters.
However, the Minority argues that the same urgency was not applied when Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC and Deputy Director of Operations at the presidency, allegedly made a direct threat against Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei in a press briefing held on Thursday, February 13, condemned what she described as a clear case of double standards.
“Bias and selective justice being exhibited by state security agencies in the administration of their duties.
"If the NIB is truly committed to upholding law and order, it must explain why the Minority Chief Whip was swiftly summoned for interrogation over his comments, while the Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, who openly threatened the Minority Leader’s life, was allowed to walk free without consequences,” she stated.
She further warned against the growing perception that state institutions were being used to target certain political figures while others acted with impunity.
The minority is demanding answers from the NIB, insisting that all political actors must be treated equally under the law to preserve the integrity of Ghana’s democracy.
