A former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini says he is not escaping investigations as suggested by the police.
Inusah Fuseini appeared in Kaneshie District Court on Monday, February 22, 2021, based on a subpoena requested by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
The police took the action alleging that the former legislator was evading their invitation to help them investigate a matter.
But Inusah Fuseini in an interview on Eyewitness news He said it was surprising that the police had a notice of summons taped to their door as if they were trying to evade their invitation.
“I am a responsible citizen of this country … I have never escaped from the police,” he remarked.
He explained that the police wrote him a letter through the former Speaker of Parliament, Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye on December 24, 2020 to invite him to assist them in the investigations into some comments he made on Radio Gold, but which was not available.
“On December 24, my lawyers wrote to the CID and told them that I was fulfilling parliamentary functions while I was addressing my constituency … My lawyer told me that he delivered the letter to the Director of Operations of the CID personally.”
“We never heard from the CID until a court summons was posted on my door. It is not true that he has been fleeing the investigations, “he insisted.
Subsequently, the court ordered Inusah Fuseini to assist the police in the investigations.
The former legislator is alleged to have said during the Alhaji and Alhaji program on Radio Gold that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that lost the 2020 presidential elections should consider running a government parallel to the government led by Akufo-Addo.
Following the order of the court, the police met with him and reproduced that part of the program to which he explained that it had been misinterpreted.
He said that he told the police that “That was an expression of my point of view, it was advice and I knew that advice will not be taken because I am aware that at the time I said it, plans were well in advance for the NDC go to court to challenge the elections. ”
