Sammi Awuku, the Member of Parliament for Akuapim North, has expressed strong dislike of the way the ruling NDC government is treating former appointees under the  Akufo-Addo administration.

In a strongly worded statement, the NDC government was accused of treating the former appointees of the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration as human garbage.

Parts of his statement read, “The NDC government is treating senior former appointees of the Akufo-Addo administration like human garbage”.

He warned, “We will not forget these evil things when we return to power”.

“The NPP will never forget all the evil things being done to the Ghanaian people and also to our supporters,” he claimed.

He further advised EOCO and the NIB, “Those who work at EOCO and the NIB, let your loyalty be to the state and not individuals who are temporal occupants of their positions”.

“Every appointee under the Akufo-Addo administration is under investigation, even the Attorney General,” he said.

 “This does not mean they have put cowards into submission; we shall continuously speak. The NPP fought for freedom of speech, and we will continuously guard it,” he asserted.

Also, Justin Kodua, the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has alleged that some Judges have reduced themselves to remand officers.

According to Justin Kodua, the Judges have reduced themselves to remand officers just to act in the interest of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a news card shared by JOY FM, Justin Kodua is quoted to have said, “Some judges have reduced themselves to remand officers, acting in the interest of the NDC”.

Also, Justin Kodua Frimpong, during a press conference yesterday, April 15, 2026, accused the Mahama government of arbitrary arrest and prosecution of its members.

According to the NPP,  the actions being taken by the NDC government authorities undermine democratic principles and the rule of law.

He warned that such developments could set a dangerous precedent for Ghana’s political environment.

Justin Kodua Frimpong warned that a future NPP administration should not be faulted if similar measures are taken against members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) members.

Speaking to journalists at a press conference on Wednesday, April 15, Justin Kodua Frimpong stated, “Somewhere in 2025, this government was arresting, detaining and arbitrarily arraigning members of our party before some kangaroo courts. We came to you, and we were not calling on the media, CSOs, and the clergy to come to the defence of the NPP, but rather let you all be aware of what the NDC is doing.

They are sidestepping our constitution, the respect for the rule of law, liberty, and freedom of expression, and we want to send a signal to them that no condition is permanent and definitely, the tables will turn.

And we don’t want a situation where the tables will turn, and people will come to the NPP government and ask why these things are happening.”

Meanwhile, reports suggest more than 80 former officials from Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration are being investigated for corruption, with around 280 cases under review by the Office of the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Special Prosecutor (OSP), National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
