The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is demanding answers from the Special Prosecutor about whether he is aware there is a presidential staffer at the office of the president working as a special assistant at his office.
The MP in a Facebook post also questioned why the Special assistant is being paid from the office of the president when the Special Prosecutor himself has not been paid for 16 months.
His post read ”Is Ghana’s Special Prosecutor aware that there’s someone listed amongst the legion of political appointees at the Akufo-Addo Presidency described as “Special Assistant, Office of the Special Prosecutor?”
Why is a Special Assistant at the Office of the Special Prosecutor classified as a Political Appointee at the Presidency?
Why is this Special Assistant being paid from the Presidency, particularly when Parliament discovered last December that his boss, the OSP has not been paid for an incredible 16 months?
How does this development help protect the independence of the Office of Special Prosecutor?”
