MAJORITY PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FALSE PALPABLY CLAIMS OF REMOVAL MISCHIEVOUS BY A LEBANESE NATIONAL MADE BY THE MINORITY
The attention of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament was drawn to a press release issued by the minority reporting rather outrageous allegations of kidnapping of a Mahran Mustapha Baajour who would be a Lebanese businessman of Palestinian origin at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra on December 13, 2018.
We are anxious to state unequivocally that credible checks carried out by the National Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration unequivocally attest that none of these people had arrived at Kotoka International Airport. obviously false accounts given by the highest ranking member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
It is perfectly clear that the claims of the minority are false, unfounded and contain no truth.
More so, the senior member and the minority did not check the facts with the relevant agencies before the publication of the statement, which is a sign of a deliberate attempt to harm the image and the Ghana's reputation, as they have often tried to do. .
Therefore, we strongly condemn the mischievous and extremely unpatriotic lie fabricated by the minority and thus invite the general public to disregard and treat with contempt the despicable attempt of the senior member of the foreign affairs and the minority to denigrate the highly reputed image of our beloved country Ghana in the committee of nations.
Ghana is recognized by the international community as a country respectful of human rights and legality. Thus, any despicable attempt by the senior member and the minority to falsely represent our country in another way, in order to defend local and partisan interests, should and should be condemned in no uncertain terms.
We understand that national security must therefore respond in a timely manner.
