Ghanaian Minority MPs Protest Wontumi's Bail Conditions

Accra, Ghana – On May 29, 2025, a protest unfolded outside the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) headquarters in Accra. Minority Members of Parliament (MPs) voiced their discontent over the bail terms set for Wontumi, a prominent political figure recently arrested by EOCO. The demonstration involved dozens of MPs who gathered to express their concerns. Kwaku Ansa-Asare, former Director of Ghana Law School, shared his perspective on the situation. "If we all truly know who Wontumi is, I doubt the Minority would act the way they have," he stated, questioning the rationale behind the protest. The MPs' demonstration highlights the ongoing political tensions and the scrutiny surrounding Wontumi's arrest. This event underscores the importance of transparency and due process within Ghana's legal system.
