The Minister for Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has rejected suggestions that the government is using the justice system to settle political scores, insisting that ongoing prosecutions are rooted in law and evidence, not partisanship.
Speaking on Metro TV, he emphasised that the Attorney-General’s Office continues to operate independently and in full accordance with legal standards.
“The Attorney-General’s Office is acting strictly within the bounds of the law,” he said, stressing that no individual is being unfairly pursued.
He added that all cases currently before the courts are supported by verified grounds for prosecution.
“Every prosecution currently before the courts has been initiated on the basis of credible evidence and due legal procedure. There is absolutely no attempt to target or persecute anyone for political reasons.”
According to him, the administration remains committed to strengthening the country’s democratic institutions by upholding both accountability and fairness.
“Our democracy is anchored on justice and accountability. That means ensuring that people who have questions to answer before the law do so, but also guaranteeing that no one’s rights are trampled upon in the process.”
Kwakye Ofosu called on citizens to trust in the integrity of the judicial system. “We should all trust our justice system to deliver impartial outcomes,” he said.
Reiterating the government’s position, he noted that its role is to ensure transparency and legal compliance in all proceedings.
“The government’s only interest is to ensure that the law takes its course, fairly, transparently, and without fear or favour.”
