The Minority in Parliament has strongly criticized the National Intelligence Bureau’s (NIB) decision to summon Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh over allegedly inciteful remarks.
Annoh-Dompreh had urged New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters in Ablekuma North to stand firm in confrontations with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The Minority argues that the NIB’s actions demonstrate blatant double standards, citing the agency’s failure to summon NDC Deputy General Secretary Mustapha Gbande.
Gbande allegedly threatened the life of Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin on February 7, 2025.
Deputy Minority Leader Patricia Appiagyei condemned the NIB’s approach, labeling it a grossly unfair application of justice.
“If the NIB is truly committed to upholding law and order, they must explain why the Minority Chief Whip was swiftly summoned for interrogation over his comment, while the deputy director of operations at the presidency, who openly threatened the Minority Leader’s life, was allowed to walk free without consequences.”
Appiagyei emphasized that this double standard raises serious concerns about the selective application of justice and the use of state institutions to target certain political figures.
“If public remarks are to be scrutinized, all individuals, regardless of their political affiliations, must be held to the same standard,” she stressed.
