The Minister for Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of deliberately generating “noise” to hinder the government’s efforts to hold corrupt actors accountable.
Speaking on Joy News’ Top Stories during an interview on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, following accusations by the NPP that the John Mahama administration is conducting a systematic campaign of harassment and intimidation against its members through an alleged misuse of state institutions, he described the claims as illogical.
However, Mr. Kwakye Ofosu defended the role of the Attorney General [Dr. Dominic Ayine], noting that the office functions strictly within the framework of the law.
“The Attorney General, whose name they often mention to create the impression that he has done something extraordinary, has merely stated that, based on investigations, there is evidence suggesting that an individual may have violated the law,” he said.
“On that basis, the person is taken to court. This is standard legal procedure and does not amount to a conviction
He emphasised that prosecutions only occur through due process in the courts, where the accused are given the full opportunity to mount a defence
The Communications Minister described the opposition’s accusations as politically motivated.
“The noises that the NPP are making are designed solely to stop the government from doing the things that meet the expectations of the people of Ghana,” he stated.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu insisted that the government remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law, further arguing that investigations and prosecutions are standard mechanisms for upholding good governance rather than acts of political persecution.
