Minister for Government Communications and Member of Parliament for Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has dismissed claims that the recall of Ghana’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mohammed Baba Jamal Ahmed, was a targeted action.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show monitored by Elvisanokye.com Mr. Kwakye Ofosu said the government acted on the information available at the time and in line with its commitment to transparency and accountability.
According to him, the recall was a procedural step to allow investigations into allegations of bribery to be conducted fairly, without interference or prejudice.
“If investigations indicate that Baba Jamal was not involved in any bribery, he will be cleared, the decision will be reversed, and he will walk as a free man.”
He stressed that the government’s approach is guided by the principles of natural justice, insisting that the affected official deserves a fair hearing before any conclusions are drawn
“The fair thing is to comply with the demands of natural justice and give him a hearing. That is why the party and the Office of the Special Prosecutor are looking into the matter.”
Mr. Kwakye Ofosu further assured the public that the government has no interest in witch-hunting any individual, noting that accountability processes are meant to protect the integrity of public institutions while safeguarding the rights of those accused.
