Member of Parliament for Suame and Counsel for the Minority New Patriotic Party, John Darko, has criticised the practice of raiding individuals’ homes as part of investigations, highlighting its ineffectiveness and potential harm.

This follows the raid on the home of former Bank of Ghana (BoG) Governor, Dr Ernest Addison by national security operatives.

Speaking on the matter on the Channel One Newsroom on Thursday, Darko condemned the approach and called for more thoughtful and productive methods in handling investigations.

He stressed the importance of adopting strategies that ensure fairness, accountability, and meaningful outcomes.

“I think that we need to do better. This won’t go anywhere,” Mr. Darko stated. “The point is, this will end up going nowhere because you won’t find anything if you do this kind of investigation.

“Let’s do very sensible investigations and then get what we want. But if we raid somebody’s home and then they won’t even find their properties, then that’s a problem.”
