Renowned Legal Practitioner Unperturbed by Petition Against Special Prosecutor

Renowned Legal Practitioner Unperturbed by Petition Against Special Prosecutor

Justice Srem Sai, Legal Practitioner

In the latest development in Ghana’s legal and political landscape, renowned legal practitioner Justice Srem Sai has expressed no surprise at the petition filed by former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu.

This petition seeks the removal of the current Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, from office. Justice Sai’s remarks come amidst a backdrop of heated debates and growing tensions surrounding the allegations.

Justice Sai emphasized the inevitability of pushback against offices established to combat corruption. “It did not come to me as a surprise that someone is seeking to remove the OSP from the office,” he stated.

Justice Sai pointed out that resistance is a common occurrence for any institution fighting corruption, succinctly summarizing the phenomenon as “corruption will fight back.” He noted that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is not unique in facing such challenges, suggesting that similar offices globally encounter equivalent opposition.

Following the petition, Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo formally requested a response from Mr. Kissi Agyebeng. This response is critical for the Chief Justice to determine if there is a prima facie case warranting further investigation and potentially, Mr. Agyebeng’s removal.

The petition, which Amidu submitted on April 30, 2024, and was forwarded to the Chief Justice on May 6, 2024, lists several serious allegations against Mr. Agyebeng.

Mr. Amidu’s petition accused Mr. Agyebeng of procurement breaches in purchasing vehicles for the OSP, misconduct involving judges and the administration of justice, violations of citizens’ rights through arrests and detentions, breaches of the right to information, and improper appointments within the OSP. These allegations paint a concerning picture of the operations within the OSP under Mr. Agyebeng’s leadership.

Moreover, the petition has sparked significant public and professional discourse. Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, has dismissed Amidu’s petition as “nonsensical.” Mr. Baako, in a Facebook comment, expressed his disbelief at the allegations, calling them “nonsense, respectfully.”

Mr. Baako’s criticism highlights a broader sentiment of skepticism regarding Amidu’s claims, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing debate.

It is worth noting that Mr. Agyebeng, before becoming Special Prosecutor, was a lawyer for investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, a connection that further entangles the narratives of corruption and legal accountability.

The Chief Justice’s determination on whether there is a prima facie case is a crucial step in this legal saga. The outcome will influence not only the fate of Kissi Agyebeng but also the perceived integrity and effectiveness of the OSP.

This situation underscores the ongoing challenges faced by anti-corruption institutions in maintaining transparency and accountability while withstanding internal and external pressures.

The unfolding events around the petition against Kissi Agyebeng serve as a stark reminder of the inherent difficulties in the fight against corruption.

As the Chief Justice proceeds with the investigation, all eyes remain on how these allegations will be addressed and what impact this will have on Ghana’s legal and political environment.

Justice Srem Sai’s perspective that such pushback is expected in anti-corruption efforts provides a sobering context for understanding the current dynamics at play. The resolution of this high-profile clash will be pivotal in shaping the future trajectory of the Office of the Special Prosecutor and its mission to combat corruption in Ghana.
