Kissi Agyebeng likely to be asked to step aside

Former Auditor-General, Daniel Yaw Domelevo, has made a shocking revelation that Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, may be asked to step aside to facilitate an investigation into allegations leveled against him. This development comes after his predecessor, Martin Amidu, petitioned for his removal, citing various breaches and abuses.

According to Domelevo, he has received information that Agyebeng may be asked to step aside by next week to allow for a thorough investigation into the allegations. Amidu’s petition, dated April 30, 2024, was addressed to President Nana Akufo-Addo and forwarded to Justice Gertrude Torkornoo on May 6, 2024.

The petition alleges procurement breaches in the purchase of vehicles for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), as well as abuses involving judges and the administration of justice. Additionally, Amidu claims that Agyebeng has violated citizens’ rights through arrests and detentions, failed to uphold the right to information, and made improper appointments to the office.

Domelevo’s revelation has sparked concerns about the potential consequences of Agyebeng’s removal from office. The Special Prosecutor’s office is crucial in the fight against corruption, and any disruption to its operations could undermine the progress made so far.

Moreover, the allegations against Agyebeng are serious and require a thorough investigation to ensure that justice is served. If found guilty, Agyebeng must face the consequences of his actions, but if innocent, he must be allowed to continue his work without interference.

Domelevo’s comments also raise questions about the motives behind Amidu’s petition. As a former Special Prosecutor himself, Amidu’s actions could be seen as a attempt to undermine his successor’s efforts to combat corruption. This would be a worrying development, as it would suggest that the fight against corruption is being hindered by internal conflicts and power struggles.

The investigation into the allegations against Agyebeng must therefore be conducted in a fair and transparent manner, to ensure that justice is served and the integrity of the Office of the Special Prosecutor is maintained. The public must also be kept informed about the progress of the investigation, to ensure that there is no cover-up or whitewashing of the allegations.

In conclusion, the potential removal of Kissi Agyebeng as Special Prosecutor is a serious development that requires careful consideration and investigation. The allegations against him must be taken seriously, and if found guilty, he must face the consequences of his actions. However, if innocent, he must be allowed to continue his work without interference. The fight against corruption in Ghana is too important to be hindered by internal conflicts and power struggles.

It is also important to note that the Office of the Special Prosecutor is a crucial institution in the fight against corruption, and any disruption to its operations could have serious consequences for the country. The investigation into the allegations against Agyebeng must therefore be conducted in a fair and transparent manner, to ensure that justice is served and the integrity of the office is maintained.

The public must also be kept informed about the progress of the investigation, to ensure that there is no cover-up or whitewashing of the allegations. This is a critical moment in the fight against corruption in Ghana, and it is important that the process is handled with transparency and accountability.

In the end, the goal must be to ensure that the Office of the Special Prosecutor continues to operate effectively and independently, without interference or hindrance. This is crucial for the fight against corruption, and for the integrity of Ghana’s institutions.
