MPship should not shield anyone from arrest – Felix Ofosu-Kwakye
Government spokesperson and Abura Asebu-Kwamankese MP Felix Kwakye Ofosu has rejected claims that Members of Parliament should be shielded from arrest by law enforcement agencies.
He rejected claims that EOCO officers intended to kidnap the MP, saying the video of the incident showed a law enforcement officer acting with restraint.
He said being an MP should not be a reason to prevent law enforcement from carrying out its duties, insisting that the law must apply equally to politicians and ordinary citizens.
