NDC Urges Police to Detain Kingsley Nyarko Immediately – Ejisu By-Election
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) demands swift arrest of Kingsley Nyarko, Member of Parliament for Kwadaso.
This request follows footage showing the lawmaker apparently distributing money to two Electoral Commission officials during the Ejisu by-election on Tuesday. Although the Electoral Commission stated that the money was intended for lunch, the NDC’s Deputy General Secretary, Mustapha Gbande, expressed astonishment that the legislator remains at liberty in an interview with Citi News.
“We are calling on the Ghana Police Service to immediately arrest the suspected bribe giver who is a member of parliament. It is quite shameful that a lawmaker will be bribing a public official who is performing his or her duty and up to date, he is walking. We cannot apply the law selectively, depending on the individual involved. Whether you are the president, face the law.
“A poor electoral commission officer, who accepts bribe because the economy is very difficult and she’s broke, accepts bribe, and we are punishing her and leaving the corrupt or the suspected criminal who is giving bribe. A lawmaker of Kwadaso.”
