Former Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, has disclosed his intervention to prevent the arrest of Mahama Ayariga, the Member of Parliament for Bawku Central. According to Prof. Oquaye, the then Special Prosecutor attempted to arrest Ayariga, but the former Speaker stepped in to halt the process. The details emerged as Prof. Oquaye recounted events during his time in office. He did not elaborate on the reasons behind the attempted arrest or the specifics of his intervention. This revelation raises questions about the independence of the Special Prosecutor’s office and potential political influence. The incident occurred while Prof. Oquaye served as Speaker of Parliament, a period marked by significant political activity in Ghana.
