Deputy Presidential Spokesperson, Shamima Muslim has said investigations are currently ongoing as as part of government’s effort to demand accountability from officials of the erstwhile NPP administration.
Her comment follows the raid of the home of former Bank of Governor, Ernest Addison by National Security Operatives on Wednesday, March 19, 2025.
On February 11 2025, the home of former finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta was also allegedly raided by some national security operatives who in addition searched the home of the former minister.
Speaking in an interview on TV3’s New Day, on Thursday, March 20 on some of these actions, Shamima Muslim explained that investigations are currently ongoing, hence every interested person will have his or her home visited by National Security Operatives as part of information gathering.
“I’m yet to get to the office to receive a full briefing on the matter but what I can say is that there are some actions going on, there are some investigations ongoing, there are persons of interest who will be now and again invited to help the investigation process.
“There are means of gathering information, and one of the means is to visit the homes of these persons of interest,” she explained.
She further called for due process to be followed in the arrest of these individuals.
“I will just say that we should execute these processes with due recourse to due process and once we are doing that, we should have no problem,” she added.
Following the raiding of the former BoG’s home, Minority Leader, Afenyo-Markin condemned the act.
However, Shamima Muslim argued that the Minority’s response to the action taken by government is an attempt to evade accountability by trying to sabotage the NDC government.
“However, we should also be mindful of how the minority would always deliberately position themselves to be avers to any action that government takes in its quest to demand audit and accountability of the outgone government…sometimes exaggerating the issue and trying to deliberately misrepresent the action that is being taken.
“Misplaced propaganda and mischief which is obvious because their intention is to entrench themselves within the system so they can leverage to sabotage. It is their grand agenda.”
