For him summoning a former President before the Special
Prosecutor will be disrespectful given that the Office of the Special
Prosecutor has been tasked by President Akufo-Addo to investigate the Airbus
scandal and unveil persons who were involved in it.

“I feel transparency is important. But I also feel it
will be disrespectful to summon a whole Former President and a respected one at
that….”, he wrote in a post sighted by MyNewsGh.com.

The eloquent analyst argues that it will set a bad precedent
if a former President gets humiliated, appealing for much restraint as the
state proceeds with investigations

“As the State intends to do its own inquiry into the Airbus issue, let’s exercise restraint and caution and not set a bad precedence that will see former Commanders-in-Chief humiliated through whatever means after their priceless service to this great nation. I humbly urge caution on all sides,” he opined.
