This is contrary to claims by the Minority in Parliament that the police did not follow due process in inviting the MP for questioning. The speaker of Parliament, Professor Mike Oquaye and the Minority described as unacceptable the attempted arrest of the Asutifi South MP after armed police men allegedly invaded his residences. “If they went to his house to invite him I don’t think there was a breach of Parliamentary process as far as inviting members of Parliament to come and answer questions of criminal complaints against them. He said on the floor of Parliament that the actions of the police were a clear breach of parliamentary immunity. He intimated that the MP then came out and stayed about 50 meters away from the centre to observe the process.
