A member of the Council of State, Sam Okudzeto, is calling for the prosecution of former Lands and Natural Resources Minister Inusah Fuseini for secretly installing an audio-visual recording device in an office occupied by current Lands and Natural Resources Minister, John Peter Amewu.
National Security detected the bug recently. Mr Fuseini admitted installing the device during his time as Minister to monitor movements in his office. He has apologised to his two predecessors for not warning them about it even though he insists the gadget was never functional because it was not fully installed.
Speaking to Class FM’s Jerry Akornor on the issue, however, Mr Okudzeto said: “What you [Inusah Fuseini] are doing is illegal; you have no business going to record somebody else’s affairs, it is not allowed anywhere in the world. In fact he should be prosecuted for doing that.”
For him, the conduct of Mr Fuseini is an “invasion of privacy”, adding that he should have removed it when he was leaving office.
Mr Inusah was succeeded by Nii Osah Mills under the previous National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration. Osah Mills spent over two years working in the bugged office without knowing about it.
The spy gadget was only discovered by security operatives who carried out routine checks at the office recently.
Mr Fuseini said the gadget was a gift from one Haruna. According to him, anxiety about spying on his successors was unnecessary since the device was not functioning.
However, the former President of the Ghana Bar Association insists it was wrong for Mr Inusah to have left the device in the office, indicating: “If he has made an error, he should apologise and retrieve it but he is just glossing over it.” For him, the current minister “is entitled to privacy so you cannot record his transactions”.

Well, the device has a Transmitter so where is the receiver, and what is no the receiver.
I can confidently say that the hidden spy gadget , fixed by Alhaji Innusa fuseini, was 100% working and functioning. the reason being that Only functional hidden spy gadgets could be well detected by Spy Trackers, as the systems work by Transmission of waves. it is never true that the said spy gadget was not working. it is a lie. I challenge the former minister, alhaji inusa fuseini.
Tee, what a reasoning. By your logic, even ***barred word***, rapists,murderers,etc,etc be allowed to go free,because they apologize. That promotes unity. Wait till they do it to you. You see when people are taken up by 'cronism','greed' and personal interest,their conscience is seared.They will defend anything for argument sake. Truth be told. ALL OFFICES OCCUPIED BY THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE 'CLEANED' THOROUGHLY, by security and intelligence experts. TRUST VERY FEW. FORTHWITH we should train and equip our intelligence agencies to do 'proper' security checks, devoid of partisanship. NANA and Co. watch !!
THIS OLD MAN IS SO MUCH ENGULF IN HATRED AND POLITICS THAT HE SOMETIMES DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. WHY SHOULD INUSAH BE PROSECUTED. WHY DO WE MISTRUST OUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS SO MUCH SUCH THAT WE FAIL TO REASON SOMETIMES. INUSAH CAME OUT TO CLAIM OWNERSHIP OF THE DEVICE, APOLOGIZED AND SAID IT WAS NOT FOR ILL MOTIVE AND IS PREPARED TO COOPERATE WITH NATIONAL SECURITY IF NEED BE. WHY SHOULD U AN OLD MAN WHO BE SEEN AS SYMBOL OF UNITY BE TALKING LIKE THIS?. HAS NATIONAL SECURITY COME OUT TO SAY THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING FISHY?. THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF LEGACY WE EXPECT FROM PEOPLE LIKE U TO LEAVE FOR US.
