The Minister for Government Communications and Member of Parliament for Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has dismissed allegations by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that its members are being harassed by the state.
His remarks come in response to the NPP’s decision to proceed with a planned demonstration on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, despite the recent release of the party’s Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC. According to the NPP, the protest goes beyond Abronye’s detention and reflects a broader concern over what they describe as a pattern of political persecution.
However, Kwakye Ofosu rejected the claims, calling them “baseless and unfounded.”
“You know that these claims must be dismissed — they have no basis,” he stated.
“Exactly what is the NPP complaining about, really? Between 2017 and 2024, when they were in power, did they not prosecute individuals? Before taking people to court, did they not arrest them?”
Kwakye Ofosu went on to explain that recent arrests and legal proceedings are in line with the government’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) initiative, aimed at promoting accountability and recovering misappropriated public funds.
“There’s no problem taking past government officials through accountability,” he added.
The government has reiterated its commitment to due process and insists that the actions taken against certain individuals are based on legal grounds, not political motivations.
