Political science lecturer at the Methodist University College Dr. Osei Bonsu has cautioned lawyer Kissi Adjabeng not to thread on the path of Martin Amidu if he wants to succeed as Special Prosecutor.
The lecturer said if the nominee is approved and sworn-in to office, he should pursue any political agenda.
According to him, Martin Amidu failed because he pursued a political agenda.
He said the former SP failed to focus on his work and pursued an agenda that was not in the interest of Ghanaians.
He has therefore admonished the new nominee to be selfless and work for Ghana.
He explained Mr. Amidu’s reasons for resigning were not justified and made no sense.
He said for Amidu to make claims that the government interfered in his work makes no sense.
He added the former SP conducted his work without allowing people to respond to his findings.
This he said Mr. Adjabeng must avoid if he wants to succeed.
On the level of competence, he said the lawyer is more than qualified to hold the office.
When approved by Parliament, Mr Agyebeng will replace Mr Martin Alamisi Burns Kaiser Amidu, who resigned on November 15, 2020.
Per section 13 (8) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959), when the position of the SP becomes vacant, the President shall, within six months, appoint another qualified person for that portfolio.
Mr Agyebeng is the Chairman of the Electronic Communications Tribunal – the body which determines appeals from parties aggrieved by decisions of the National Communications Authority (NCA) on issues such as the closure of radio stations – and one of the best-known lawyers in the country.
He is the Managing Partner of Cromwell Gray LLP, a law firm based in Accra.
