Professor Stephen Kwaku Asare, a US-based lawyer and accounting professor, known as Kwaku Azar on Facebook, said special prosecutor Martin Amidu seemed too talkative.

He is of the opinion that Mr. Amidu should allow the court documents to speak about the case involving the member of the Bawku Central constituency, Mahama Ayariga, rather than him.

The MP from Bawku Central District, who was dragged to court by the special prosecutor for tax evasion and currency trading with a license without a license, said that he could not sue him because he was a parliamentarian and enjoyed some immunity.

But Kwaku Azar said that the special prosecutor was talking too much and that it was useless that he had written a letter to Parliament demanding the release of Ayariga.

He suggested that Mr. Amidu allow the court papers to speak and to lay charges or arrest when Ayariga refuses to appear in court.

In an interview with Asempa FM and monitored by MyNewsGh.com, he said, "I think the Special Prosecutor wrote this letter to Parliament in the light of all the precautions taken. This letter was useless, but it is the danger of a special attorney who talks too much, writes too much and does a lot of things. It should allow the court papers to speak. You must present your information or your charges to the court, the court serves the party, there is a criminal summons, you wait if the party does not show up, you ask the court to charge him for contempt or the police to stop it's all '.

The reform activist in the US-based Faculty of Law and Academy feared the Speaker and MPs may intervene, which would cause a delay.

He was also concerned that some people would rebel in the future if a group of people in society is treated differently when he is charged with a criminal offense.

He stated that Mr. Ayariga, by his work, was supposed to know that it was not better to spoil the law, saying that he had no excuse for not appearing in court for the charges against him.

He said Mahama Ayariga confused the nature of the immunity he enjoys, which prevents him from appearing in court and clarifying his name if the accusations are false.

Mahma Ayariga has no business not to go to court, it 's not an invitation from the police to say that you can not honor, it' s a different case, it 's not a case. is an order, the only time he can not be purged, is when he comes or goes to Parliament … he makes a mistake in confusing the nature of the immunity he enjoys, "he said. he stated during an interview followed by MyNewsGh.com.
