Parliament has summoned the Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mubarak, to provide clarity on the search conducted at the residence of former Bank of Ghana Governor, Dr. Ernest Addison.

The directive follows intense public debate and calls for transparency after heavily armed National Security officers reportedly stormed Dr. Addison’s Roman Ridge home on March 19, disabling CCTV cameras and searching the premises.

The operation has sparked concerns over adherence to due process, with members of the Minority demanding accountability. They insist that Parliament must ensure government agencies operate within the bounds of the law.

The Interior Minister is expected to explain the legal basis for the search warrant, the specific allegations that led to the operation, and the conduct of security personnel involved. Lawmakers are also keen to know whether similar actions are planned against other former government officials.

However, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has stated that the Minister will not be available to appear before Parliament on March 25, promising that a new date will be announced in due course.

He also rejected claims that the operation was a forceful raid, arguing that it was conducted legally.

"Law enforcement officers lawfully went there to conduct a search, and it is perfectly lawful. And so using the word raid is clearly wrong," he said.

Meanwhile, sources close to Dr. Addison say he and his family remain shaken by the incident, describing it as an unnecessary and distressing ordeal.

Deputy Attorney General Dr. Justice Srem Sai has confirmed that the National Security raid on the Roman Ridge residence of former Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor Dr. Ernest Addison on March 19 was legally sanctioned by the Attorney General’s Office and conducted with proper warrants.

During a media engagement on Thursday, March 20, he affirmed, “Every search you see is part of the government's framework to fight corruption, and we take responsibility for the searches that are happening.”

He also clarified, “Those searches and the mode in which they were done were carried out in accordance with the law. Warrants were procured, and warrants were used to conduct those searches.”

In response to concerns raised by the Minority in Parliament over recent raids, the Deputy Minister disclosed that such actions are part of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption during the previous administration.
