Kissi Agyebeng, the Special Prosecutor (SP), has asked the Judiciary to desist from preventing his outfit in discharging its responsibilities. He has asked judges to dispassionately consider cases from the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that are brought before them.
In an address to the media Wednesday, November 29, 2023, Mr. Agyebeng had the following advise for the bench.
“Let us bring before you the body of our investigation as evidence. If you look at it, and you decide that the evidence does not shore up to the standard of proof required in criminal cases, you can dismiss it but don’t prevent us from doing our work, from investigating. It is dangerous,” he stated.
An Accra High Court cleared a former Commissioner of Customs Division at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Colonel Kwadwo Damoah (Rtd) and a former Deputy Commissioner of the Division, Joseph Adu Kyei of any wrong doing over the Labianca report in which the OSP accused them.
This caused the OSP to release a statement saying it disagrees with the ruling, stating that “it will not permit this decision to stand.”
His demeanor at the press conference organised under his auspices suggests that all he is holding onto right now is his patriotism and sole commitment to uproot corruption to the best of his ability.
He said there was doom looming ahead of the state in its fight against corruption and no amount of frustration was going to make him resign.
“As I said, I wasn’t sounding like a prophet of doom but there is Doom looming ahead of us, that very soon a murderer will boldly walk to go to seek an injunction. Should I feel frustrated and resign? I took an oath and in my life when I take on the reins to do something, I do it to the best of my ability,’ he said Wednesday.
