Afenyo-Markin emphasized that regardless of political differences or public sentiments, such actions must not be tolerated in a democratic society. He pointed out that the rule of law and due process should be the guiding principles in handling any grievances or allegations against public figures.
The raid, which reportedly took place under unclear circumstances, has raised questions about the motives behind the intrusion. Was it politically motivated, or was it an act of vigilantism? Regardless of the reasons, the Deputy Majority Leader insists that no individual should be subjected to such acts of lawlessness.
He further warned that if such incidents are allowed to persist, they could set a dangerous precedent, leading to an erosion of democratic values in Ghana. Political opponents, activists, and even ordinary citizens could become targets of similar unlawful invasions, undermining national security and public trust in governance.
Several civil society organizations and political figures have echoed Afenyo-Markin’s sentiments, urging security agencies to investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure that those responsible face the full force of the law. The Ghana Police Service has assured the public of their commitment to maintaining law and order, and investigations are reportedly underway.
The raiding of Ken Ofori-Atta’s home serves as a crucial reminder that democracy thrives on respect for human rights, rule of law, and justice. Regardless of one’s views on his tenure as Finance Minister, illegal actions should never be the response to political disagreements. The onus now lies on law enforcement agencies to bring clarity and accountability to the situation, ensuring that Ghana’s democracy remains strong and intact.
As the nation watches closely, it is imperative for all stakeholders—government, opposition parties, and citizens—to uphold the principles of justice and fairness, rejecting any form of lawlessness that threatens peace and stability.
