Former Kumbungu MP, Ras Mubarak, has called on Ghanaians to hold the President and the National Security responsible if North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa is harmed.

According to him, some national security operatives have been assigned to monitor Mr Ablakwa, hence his call on Ghanaians to question the President in case of any misfortune.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, he said, "Unimpeachable sources say thugs dressed up as national security operatives have been set to tail Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MP.

"The country should hold the President, the National Security Minister and IGP personally liable if anything happens to the legislator".

Ras Mubarak's comments come in the wake of a restraining order from the court which was reportedly served on the North Tongu MP.

The order sought to prevent him from making any further publications about the Secretary of the National Cathedral Board, Reverend Victor Kusi-Boateng.

But in a video which went viral on social media, the MP was seen kicking away the order served on him by a court official.

In the said video, Okudzeto booted the document away from his car after the court official dropped it on the floor.

Meanwhile, the Minority in Parliament has condemned what it describes as government's "naked and shameful abuse of the judiciary by certain undemocratic elements seeking to gag NDC Members of Parliament" from carrying out their constitutional mandate of oversight.

Citing the recent attempt to serve a restraining order on Mr Ablakwa, the Minority accused government of efforts to stifle parliamentary scrutiny and pervert the course of justice.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Minority said, "The instant preposterous and cowardly legal action against our respected colleague, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa by President Akufo-Addo’s appointee to the Board of Trustees of the scandal-ridden National Cathedral of Ghana who now claims to be called Kwabena Adu Gyamfi even though all public records, including incorporation documents show that he was duly appointed as Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, is nothing but a desperate effort to stifle parliamentary scrutiny and pervert the course of justice"

"To grant an interim injunction preventing further publication on a matter of enormous public interest and to a man of dubious double identity is a palpable constitutional affront.

In any case, the claim by the applicant that the continuous publication of his personal information violates his privacy raises legitimate, legal and logical questions about which of his dual identities with his different names, different dates of birth, different TINS, different mothers and different national IDs actually refer to him.

It is also most shocking that the court will grant an exparte injunction in a matter of this nature and particularly when incontrovertible court records show that the man who now claims to be Kwabena Adu Gyamfi with an alias as Victor Kusi Boateng only recently obtained judgment from the same judiciary as Victor Kusi Boateng", the statement aslo added.

It continued, "The NDC Caucus in Parliament also condemns in the strongest terms the crude disregard for the appropriate procedure of how Members of Parliament are to be served with court documents through the Right Honourable Speaker of Parliament. Multiple Speakers of Parliament across the political divide have emphasized this in many constitutionally sound rulings.

"Ambushing an MP with a secret video recording on the premises of a television station after an interview by people ironically claiming to be apostles of the protection of privacy as happened to our distinguished colleague, Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa on the precincts of Metro TV on the 3rd of February, 2023 can only be the orchestration of a frustrated and lawless cabal.

"It is a real travesty that under the current government, offenders are shielded and emboldened while diligent and patriotic Members of Parliament fulfilling their constitutional mandate are vilified, witchhunted and threatened with imprisonment".

In conclusion, the Minority said "The NDC Caucus in Parliament wishes to express full confidence in the impressive, courageous and patriotic parliamentary oversight qualities with which our respected colleague, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has pursued this national cathedral conflict of interest and dual identity scandal".

The Caucus also pledged its support for Mr Ablakwa in his investigations about Reverend Victor Kusi Boateng.

"Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa can count on our unflinching solidarity, especially during the pendency of that unmeritorious, vexatious and ridiculous Kwabena Adu Gyamfi—Victor Kusi Boateng case", the statement further revealed.

"The Minority Group in Parliament hereby serves notice that we shall not be intimidated or cowed by judicial abuse, tyranny and fascist tactics.

"We are determined to boldly pursue all aspects of this scandal-plagued National Cathedral project and the related matters of conflict of interest, dual identity, diversions, procurement breaches and blatant corruption without let or hindrance during this 3rd Session of the 8th Parliament.

"We shall be disappointing God and our dear countrymen and women if we fail in this noble mission", the Minority concluded.
