He has therefore advised the party to take advantage of it and put an end to the “needless” arguments concerning the President’s action. President Mahama on Monday granted remission of the prison sentence imposed on the three persons otherwise known as Montie trio, for contempt of court. But speaking on Citi FM Tuesday morning, Mr. Asiedu Nketia explained that the President acted within the remits of his power and that the ensuing arguments were not necessary. Mr. Asiedu Nketia also argued that the President owed no one an explanation as to who to pardon or not.
