The court, in that case, held, amongst others, that ‘the alleged theft of the money [of the NDC] is not in the interest of only the members of the NDC, but also the entire Ghanaian public who are by law entitled to inspect and take copies of the audited accounts of the NDC.’ A person who appropriates the funds of a political party is liable to punishment under our criminal laws.
