I remember ACEPA many months ago filed a complaint with the GPS, they are pretending they haven\u2019t seen that complaint. We shouldn\u2019t have two spheres of laws and two spheres of rules for Ghanaians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you are prominent as the Foreign Minister said today and you have tied your proximity to those in power. You are the Vice President\u2019s friend, you are the President\u2019s advisor or spiritual consultant you can do anything and get away with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat kind of society are we building? We make nonsense of the rule of law when we do these things. So certainly expect that I will be renewing the complaint with the police service,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, has announced his intention to involve the Ghana Police Service (GPS) in the scandal surrounding Rev Victor Kusi Boateng.
