Pollster Mussa Dankwa is of the view that the Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East, Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor, must be charged for misleading a public officer.
His call comes on the back of an investigation into violence during the 2020 and 2024 elections.
During the election, Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor had told the media that her vehicle was shot at.
However, while addressing the press on the investigations conducted, Interior Minister Muntaka Mubarak indicated that Naa Koryoo had denied the claim.
“Honourable Phyllis Naa Koryoo Okunor denied that her convoy was attacked. She was nowhere near the scene of the incident.
“Persons involved in the incident have avoided speaking with the Task Force, while Mohammed Ali and others who were in the Mahindra pickup truck and fired shots from their vehicle have also refused to cooperate. Their accounts have, therefore, not been established. Mohammed Ali is said to have been flown abroad for further treatment.
“The late Yusif Larri Idriss died from a gunshot wound and those who were in the Mahindra pickup with him know what happened. The driver of the Mahindra has been traced and further investigations are ongoing. The Task Force will continue its investigations,” he stated.
But a video of Naa Koryoo has emerged where she detailed the attack on her vehicle during the 2024 election.
Reacting to the said video and the minister’s recent press conference, Mussa Dankwa indicated that the issue should not be left unattended.
He is of the view that the MP must be charged.
“So, the MP denied that she was attacked and she as a result she could not assist with the investigation? Lawmakers not willing to corporate because their first claims were lies.
Can’t she be charged with misleading public officer? Next time, they will learn to speak the truth.
Just don’t join any group to defend any MP: When you die, you die faw death”.
