Vice Minister of Information, Pius Enam-Hadzide, advised the National Democratic Congress (NDC), the largest opposition party, to "keep silence in the media and to" go to court with their facts "if they have any evidence that President Ofosu-Ampofo is innocent. in the charges against him.

"If they have something to say, I will advise them to stay silent in the media and to go to court to present their facts." . . but to give the impression that there should not be equality before the law in Ghana, citizens will not understand you, "he advised.

Speaking at the morning show "Ade Akye Abia" From Okay FM, Pius Enam-Hadzide insisted that the NDC should not panic if it had evidence that the leaked record of its national president was falsified.

"Why did they use letters and radio interviews to solve the problem already in court?"

He therefore described as disappointing the comment of NDC leader Johnson Asiedu Nketia, according to which the government should have sued those implicated in Ayawaso West Wuogon's by-election violence and ignore the secret recordings of their national president.

"I am surprised that a leader like Asiedu Nketia, the secretary-general of the largest opposition party in Ghana, is able to say that others in the past should be prosecuted first and not before." # 39; Ofosu-Ampofo. I am disappointed with him; I doubt that a great leader like him opens his mouth to say things like that, "he chided.

He reiterated that "the CND is trying to believe that once a politician is involved in a case, he can not be tried by a court because it will be d & # 39; political victimization, but the ordinary person in the country can be prosecuted when it commits an offense. "

"If this is done the way the NDC advances this file, then it means that they want the law to treat certain categories of people in society; then it means that we have divided the law in two, the law can apply to others, but with another, the law is not applicable, "he said.
