Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, has rubbished Martin Amidu’s petition to President Akufo-Addo to oust the Special Prosecutor, William Kissi Agyebeng, from office.
Following a publication on Facebook by the Executive Director of the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh, on the petition seeking the Special Prosecutor’s removal, Mr. Kwaku Baako in a comment stated that although he is yet to read the petition, he respectfully sees it as nonsensical.
“Oh! My friend Martin! I see. Still nonsensical! I am yet to see or read the petition though! Nonsense, respectfully!!” Kwaku Baako commented under Prof. Prempeh’s post.
Martin Amidu, a former Special Prosecutor, cited procurement breaches in the purchase of vehicles for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and abuses involving judges and the administration of justice as part of his call for Mr. Agyebeng’s impeachment.
He also alleged that Mr. Agyebeng has violated the rights of citizens through arrests and detentions, as well as violations of the right to information, and improper appointments of personnel to the office.
According to Mr. Amidu, when he requested appointment letters and salary details of all OSP staff to be put on a pen drive for him, Mr. Agyebeng refused.
The petition, which has been confirmed by Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, dated April 30, 2024, has been presented to President Akufo-Addo and forwarded to the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, on May 6, 2024.
The Chief Justice, according to sources, is determining whether there is a prima facie case to establish a committee for Mr. Agyebeng’s removal as required by the Constitution in Article 146.
Kissi Agyebeng is ‘incompetent, unprofessional’ – Martin Amidu
