THE MINORITY REACTIVE THE GOVERNMENT'S DENIAL FOR THE REMOVAL OF MAHRAN MUSTAPHA BAAJOUR
The parliamentary minority has taken notice of an ignominious and unworthy statement by a member of the majority of the Foreign Affairs Committee members seeking to deny the obvious abduction and disappearance of Mahran Mustapha Baajour, a Lebanese businessman come to power. Ghana on December 13, 2018.
We note that the desperate declaration, devoid of any minimum of morality and truth, was signed by Reverend John Ntim Fordjour. One wonders if our honorable colleague still believes in the sacrosanct John 8:32 – "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
In order to avoid any doubt, the minority in Parliament confirms all the facts set out in our press release of March 24, 2019, because they remain the inescapable and irreproachable truth.
In any case, we find it curious that the government did not consider it worthy to deny virtually the same facts as those reported by Insight and the international media several weeks before the publication of our statement. Perhaps even more strange is the government's persistent silence over protests in Lebanon accusing the kidnapping government several days before the minority's declaration.
The minority also wishes to draw the attention of the general public to the fact that the family of abducted Lebanese has been ordering his lawyer Roberts Ekow Dbadah Esq since January 19, 2019. bring an action before a high court in Accra to obtain from the Human Rights Court the obligation to compel the government to produce Mahran Mustapha Baajour. According to our information, the hearing in this case will take place on April 2, 2019 and we should humbly appeal to the media so that they are interested in the judicial proceedings if we all want to know the truth.
We should be quick to add that, during our own audits, we have evidence of the Middle East Airline airline that brought Mahran to Ghana on December 13, 2018. Suffice it to say that several witnesses who were on the run with the business man be ready to testify without mentioning an official confirmation from the Ghana Immigration Service, which was presented in court stating that Mahran Mustapha Baajour had been treated at the ## 147 ## # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # 39, Kotoka International Airport on the date indicated.
The minority can now confirm that after our initial statement implicating the government's conduct, we learned from Lebanon that Mahran Mustapha Baajour was expelled from Ghana a few hours ago and arrived in Beirut (Lebanon) today. 25 March 2019. Mahran arrived on Qatar Airways and is currently being reported by the Lebanese authorities even though his family in Lebanon has been contacted.
Noting these strange developments, the minority calls on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to launch a thorough investigation into the circumstances that led to the kidnapping and then the expulsion of Mahran Mustapha Baajour from Ghana.
It should be noted that information from the Mahran family, the Lebanese government and human rights advocates suggest that we have not seen the end of this affair. This is precisely the reason why the proceedings before the Human Rights Court in Ghana should continue despite the sudden withdrawal of Mahran from Ghana.
Obviously, this is not a cheap and cheap strategy of the government, which is to hit the head of Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, will save those who have conspired to discredit the image of our country.
The minority in Parliament ensures that we will continue to jealously guard Ghana's good image as a nation defending fundamental human rights and the rule of law. Therefore, we will resist attempts by dishonest elements to tarnish Ghana's hard-earned reputation and tarnish our reputation. in the courtesy of the nations.
Sign,
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa (MP)
Member of the ranking, Foreign Affairs Committee.
