This is standard legal procedure and does not amount to a conviction.\u201d <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ ALSO:<\/strong> Mahama administration turning state institutions into political weapons \u2013 NPP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>He emphasised that prosecutions only occur through due process in the courts, where the accused are given the full opportunity to mount a defence. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is for this reason that, after the Attorney General\u2019s announcement, nobody goes to prison immediately,\u201d Mr Kwakye Ofosu explained.<\/p>\n<p>The Communications Minister described the opposition\u2019s accusations as politically motivated. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe noises that the NPP are making are designed solely to stop the government from doing the things that meet the expectations of the people of Ghana,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis includes holding to account those who have mismanaged the nation\u2019s finances, caused losses, or engaged in acts that amount to corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kwakye Ofosu insisted that the government remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law, further arguing that investigations and prosecutions are standard mechanisms for upholding good governance rather than acts of political persecution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n
