Frank Davies, a member of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s felony workforce, has accused the federal government of making use of double requirements in its pursuit of justice, arguing that government will have to first protected the go back of convicted fugitive Sedinam Tamakloe-Attionu sooner than intensifying efforts towards Mr Ofori-Atta.

Speaking on PleasureNews, Mr Davies criticised what he described because the selective software of the regulation, insisting that Ghana will have to be constant in its dedication to due procedure and duty.

“Sedinam Tamakloe-Attionu has been convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction — a criminal court — of corruption and corruptible tendencies. She has been convicted and is now a jailbird. She’s a criminal fugitive in the United States,” he mentioned.

According to him, the federal government, which has many times pledged to combat corruption, will have to reveal equity via pursuing all convicted individuals with equivalent depth.

“I think our government, on the threshold of what they promised Ghanaians, should be able to bring Attionu back to Ghana, and then they can deal with Ken Ofori-Atta,” he added.

Frank Davies additional steered that public discourse has unfairly increased Mr Ofori-Atta’s case above others, even if Ms Tamakloe-Attionu has already been convicted.

“Now, they say Madam Attionu has blood running through her veins, and Ken Ofori-Atta has palm kernel oil dripping in his, so he is now more important than someone who has been convicted. This is the justice we are preaching in Ghana,” he mentioned.

He warned that what he described as “double standards, hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty” may undermine public accept as true with within the justice gadget.

“If we are preaching justice, let us preach justice. If we are preaching the rule of law, let us do so. If we are preaching due process, let us preach it — not selectivity,” he wired.
