EOCO official must face disciplinary action over Manhyia South MP arrest attempt – Martin Kpebu

He cited Section 20 of the Parliament Act, Act 300, saying that where criminal or civil proceedings are to be taken against an MP, the appropriate communication should be directed to the Speaker of Parliament.

Private Legal Practitioner Martin Kpebu is calling for disciplinary action against a Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) enforcement official over what he describes as a “condemnable” alleged attempt to arrest the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South and Lawyer, Baffour Awuah, at the Accra High Court complex.

He said the alleged attempt to arrest the MP was unacceptable, particularly because there are established procedures for taking legal action against Members of Parliament.
