Per a report by Myjoyonline.com, he explained the process would be nothing more than an intriguing exercise to test the constitution.
“Personally, if you asked me, I wouldn’t say the impeachment process is very necessary. But politics is politics, and we are all students of politics. So I am intrigued and I want to see how it pans out,” he said.
He added that Osafo Maafo’s justification for the government’s decision to discontinue a case against Huang, despite being a clear gaffe, is not serious enough to force him out office.
He said he understands Osafo-Maafo’s explanation to be consistent with how nations deal with each other, only that the senior minister’s delivery was poor.
