And no court has proof of guilt of Mr. Frimpong of engaging in money laundering or fraud and for that matter, he is under the presumption of innocence in the case, he stressed.
The majority Chief Whip cautions the public against making a conclusion on the case and stops misleading information to the public.
He further stated the bail bid application has been successfully filed on Tuesday, May, 26, 2026, and the court hearing will proceed within one week.
He is optimistic that the Dutch Court will grant the bail application for the Minister while the investigation is still ongoing in the court.
Mr. Dafeamekpor stated that the issue regarding money fraud or money laundering whether raised locally or intentionally should be treated within the framework of the law.
He added that the leadership of the parliament, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Ghana Ambassador to the Netherlands are working hand in hand to ensure his release while the investigation continues.
He urged all Ghanaians to stay calm as the leadership is making an effort to ensure his release to continue his work in Ghana’s parliament.
