Lambussie Member of Parliament Prof Titus Kofi Beyuo has called on public officials facing corruption-related investigations to return to Ghana and submit themselves to due process, warning that accountability cannot be evaded by leaving the country.
In an interview, Prof Beyuo said recent developments send a clear signal that individuals who enter public life will be held responsible for their actions, regardless of where they reside. Using biblical imagery, he stressed that “judgment day” inevitably comes, urging those implicated in alleged wrongdoing to “come and face it”.
He argued that even before formal trials or sentencing, public scrutiny serves as a powerful form of accountability, with citizens, the media and civil society continuously questioning the conduct of public officials. According to him, remaining outside the country only distances individuals from the realities of public debate and national introspection.
Prof Beyuo expressed confidence in the Attorney General to act fairly and professionally, while advising leadership within the justice sector to remain committed to the government’s anti-corruption agenda. He noted that accountability was a key pillar on which the current administration gained power and must therefore be pursued decisively.
He further urged authorities to prioritise asset recovery, stressing that reclaiming public resources is essential to restoring trust and reinforcing the rule of law.
