You Aren’t Immune to Prosecution for Damaging Public Property; Mussa Dankwa to Appointments Committee

The Executive Director and Head of Global Research at Global InfoAnalytics, Mussa Dankwa has stated that lawmakers can be prosecuted for damaging public property.

This is in reaction to the chaos that erupted among the Appointments Committee of Parliament members on Thursday night during their ongoing vetting process.

The disturbing scenes witnessed the destruction of glass doors and microphones in the Committee’s Conference Room.

In a Facebook post, Dankwa condemned the action of the lawmakers as “dishonourable”.

“These are dishonourable acts.”

He further called for the prosecution of the MPs who were involved in the destruction of the properties in Parliament.

According to him, they aren’t immune to prosecution for such a crime.

“Being a member of parliament does not immune you from prosecution for damaging public property.”

The disagreement was fuelled by the decision of the Majority side to continue and vet two additional Minister-nominees after they had vetted five nominees of President John Dramani Mahama, a decision that was opposed by the Minority side.

The five included Abdul-Rashid Hassan Pelpuo, Minister-Designate for Labour, Jobs and Employment; Ibrahim Murtala Muhammed, Minister-Designate for Environment, Science and Technology; Samuel Nartey George, Minister-Designate for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations; Kofi Iddie Adams, Minister-Designate for Sports and Recreation; and Joseph Bukari Nikpe, Minister-Designate for Transport.

The two remaining nominees were the Minister-designate for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh and the Minister-designate for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
