A private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai, holds the view that a call for a public inquiry into the AKSA scandal is a trap.

According to him, it is not the right call and must not be heeded.

He believes that the opposition party’s call for a public inquiry is a trap for the government, and the earlier they do not pay attention to it, the better for the country.

Speaking on Accra-based TV3’s Key Points, he said, “I think we need to remember that it is not the right call, whether by the NPP or by whoever. I think that a call by the NPP is a trap,” he said.

He continued, “For such calls, I think it is inappropriate to make such calls and I don’t think it is fair for the people of Ghana. My call is for the president to act swiftly and decisively and ensure that this matter is nipped in the bud because this originated at the time he was president. This was part of the issues that culminated in his massive loss. This matter has caused us so much, and I think that it has to end in his time.

It can only end in his time if he puts his feet on the ground to make this work, and I call on the president for a swift criminal investigation into the matter. I think that this is the best way to deal with this issue. It must be a holistic one, with everyone involved. From the day AKSA came to Ghana to today, all contracts that have been entered into with AKSA, because if it is rotten in the head, it is rotten in the heart and everywhere else. We need to look at everything AKSA has done and bring this to an end”.
