Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga cautions politicians against evading prosecution for crimes

He emphasized that the law must be applied equally to all citizens, regardless of their political status or societal position. Ayariga stated that lawmakers should not use their platforms to intimidate law enforcement agencies investigating alleged criminal conduct. He stressed that criminal acts should not be given a political interpretation simply because a politician is involved, asserting that "crime is crime."

Ayariga criticized the notion that politicians who allegedly steal millions of Ghana cedis should be treated differently from ordinary citizens imprisoned for stealing items like goats, fowls, or guinea fowls. He argued that such an attitude hinders Ghana's progress and urged lawmakers to allow law enforcement agencies to perform their duties without political interference or intimidation.
