Parliament says it is not in any way obstructing the work of Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu in the prosecution of Mahama Ayariga.
There appears to be fracas between Parliament and the Office of the Special Prosecutor over the prosecution of Mahama Ayariga.
While the Office of the Special Prosecutor demanded that Ayariga be present in court to answer to his charges, Parliament insisted that the Mr. Ayariga’s privileges as a legislator do not support him being made to face the law in a way that interferes with his duty as a Parliamentarian.
According to Parliament, its engagement with Martin Amidu was to draw his attention to some articles in the 1992 Constitution which offers Ayariga some protection from legal proceedings in a way that interferes with his parliamentary duties.
It stressed that it had informed the Special Prosecutor that the MP could be tried any day during the long three-month vacation (August to October) but is surprised that an impression is being created that Parliament is sabotaging the prosecution of the Member of Parliament.
