Policy analyst Atik Mohammed has heavily criticized Ghana’s Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, accusing him of gross incompetence in fighting corruption. Mohammed questioned the value for money invested in the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), citing the agency’s lack of tangible results.
The criticisms come after the OSP recovered GH₵100,000, which Mohammed believes is a paltry sum considering the office’s lavish spending. “He lives like an Arabian king, but can only recover GH₵100,000,” Mohammed said, adding that the OSP’s performance is unimpressive ¹.
Key Concerns:
– Lack of Successful Prosecutions: Mohammed pointed out that the Special Prosecutor has secured only one successful prosecution since taking office.
– Excessive Spending: The policy analyst questioned the OSP’s financial management, suggesting that the office’s expenditure does not translate to meaningful outcomes.
– Limited Impact: Mohammed expressed frustration over the OSP’s inability to demonstrate significant progress in the fight against corruption.
Call for Resignation
Atik Mohammed’s scathing critique has sparked debate about the OSP’s effectiveness. He has called for the Special Prosecutor’s resignation, citing his failure to deliver on the office’s mandate ¹.
