Former Member of Parliament for South Tongu, Kobena Woyome, has dismissed claims that the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) is being used to target members of the previous administration.
Speaking on ABC IN THE MORNING, Woyome refuted allegations made by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that government institutions are being weaponized to victimize political appointees of the former government.
He described these claims as premature and unfounded, urging the opposition to refrain from politicizing legal processes.
“It is too early for them to jump to such a conclusion,” Woyome stated, emphasizing that law enforcement agencies are simply carrying out their mandate.
He insisted that no individuals are being targeted for political reasons and that the government is committed to upholding the rule of law.
“The issue is that when there is a matter that, of course, frowns on the law, those restrictions will have to move in,” he explained, rejecting suggestions that the current administration is engaging in political equalization.
The controversy stems from accusations by the NPP that the government is selectively investigating former officials out of spite.
However, Woyome maintained that these investigations are not politically motivated and that due process must be followed.
His remarks highlight the ongoing tension between the ruling government and the opposition, raising concerns about how state institutions are perceived to operate.
As political debates intensify, calls for institutional independence and transparency continue to dominate Ghana’s political discourse.
