His comments follow threats by the NDC to ensure that the former Deputy Energy Minister in the Kufuor government is arrested and prosecuted for his role in the sale of Ghana’s drill ship as soon as he loses his seat.
A government white paper on a report presented by the Judgment Debt Commission directed the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) to investigate K.T Hammond on the disbursement of $900,000 from the sale of the drill ship which belonged to the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) .
KT Hammond subsequently sued the government for directing the Economic and Organised Crime Unit (EOCO) to investigate him over the drill ship saga.

But speaking at the launch of an outreach programme for Volta caucus nationwide at Fumso in the Ashanti Region, Mr Asiedu Nketia hinted that government is waiting for Mr Hammond to lose his seat and face the law.
"...This year, he would exit Parliament and after that, we would arrest him and question him about the whereabouts of the drill ship,” Asiedu Nketia added.
But K.T Hammond insisted that it will rather be the other way round after the elections.
