Former Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Member of Parliament for Suame, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has criticized President John Mahama’s ORAL Committee, describing it as a dangerous precedent for the country.
Speaking on Nhyira FM’s Kuro Yi Mu Nsem show, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu argued that Mahama established the committee while he was President-elect, at a time when he lacked the executive authority to do so.
He further stated that allegations of looting should be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, as looting is a criminal offense that requires legal adjudication.
“As far as I am concerned, the ORAL Committee is a dangerous precedent for the country. At the time he set up the team, he was only President-elect and had not been sworn in, so executive authority was not in his hands. Looting is a criminal offense and must be established in court before making such accusations,” he stated.
