A former Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, Professor Frimpong-Boateng, says he feels victimised over his invitation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor which later became an arrest for which he was granted a GHS 2 million cedis bail.
According to him, he was surprised by the treatment meted out to him, given his selfless contributions to the country.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with JoyNews on the back of reports of his arrest and subsequent release two weeks ago by the Special Prosecutor, the revered heart surgeon recounted his contributions to the success story of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
The former appointee said though he is not perfect, he sees no wrong in his past conduct as the Chairman of the Inter-ministerial Committee on illegal mining, and therefore his arrest by the Special Prosecutor came to him as a surprise.
Responding to whether or not he feels victimised, he said, “I think so. What have I done wrong in this country? … If 0.001% of people behave like what I’ve done, this country will not be the way it is”.
“As we go along in life in this country, others who have the power or the influence now should know that at some point, they will also be held accountable for what they’re doing”, the embattled scholar added.
