Member of Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga
Constitutional jurist Kwaku Asare, based in the United States, described as "misplaced" the exchange of correspondence between special prosecutor Martin Amidu and Bawku MP Mahama Ayariga.
Mr Ayariga rejected the invitation of the special prosecutor of 4 June in court following the investigation of corruption against him.
According to the former Minister of Sports, he will not be able to appear in court on that date because Parliament will sit in session and therefore work for his constituents.
However, Professor Asare argued that the legislator was mistaken and had to make himself available to the courts.
"That's noise," said Professor Asare to Morning Starr's facilitator, Francis Abban, on Monday, June 3, 2019.
He added that both parties must stop "personalizing the file and make it a political issue" and plead their case in court.
According to Professor Asare, Mr. Amidu was not required to write to the legislator for him to appear in court.
"It was misplaced," he said.
The special prosecutor sued the MP for abusing his office, among other offenses.
This is the first case that the Agency has been pursuing in the courts since its inception more than a year ago.
Kendrick Akwasi Marfo, from ATLAS-Rent-A-Car, is badociated with the costume.
According to the court, "Mahama Ayariga, aged 44 in November 2017 in Tema, Greater Accra region, fraudulently escaped customs duties and taxes by paying 6 062.86 GH ¢ instead of the approved duties and taxes of 36,597.15 GH to release three Toyota V8 Land Cruisers. "
He is also accused of abusing his position of public officer to his personal advantage by "selling three Toyota V8 Land Cruisers vehicles bearing the registration numbers GR 2220-18, GR 2221-18 and GR 2222-18 intended for use in the performance of his official duties. as MP for Kendrick Akwasi Marfo of ATLAS-Rent-A-Car at a price of 40,000 GH ¢ each.
