Police have filed charges against the Member of Parliament for Madina constituency, Francis Xavier Sosu for causing damage to public property during the demonstration he led in his constituency.
The Director-General of the Police Service, ACP Kwasi Ofori stated that Francis Xavier Sosu expected to appear in court to answer the charges.
“The Police has obtained a criminal summons and has been duly served for him to appear in court on November 8,’’ ACP Kwasi Ofori said.
“Charges include obstructing the highway and causing damage to public property,” ACP Kwasi Ofori told the media.
Meanwhile, the Speaker of Parliament has fumed over attempts by the Police to disregard his earlier directive and arrest Madina MP, even before the Privileges Committee begins hearings on the contempt case against the two senior officers.
The Speaker said the action of the Police is not only a violation of the Constitution but also disingenuous.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, he also observed that the attempt to arrest Mr Sosu during a church service last Sunday is an affront to Parliament and his powers.
