Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has quizzed the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng why he has not charged the former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta if he has evidence.
The former NPP presidential aspirant noted that the Office of the Special Prosecutor ever since their announcement has failed to outline any charges it intends to prosecute Ken Ofori-Atta for.
Kwabena Agyapong accused the OSP of conducting a public and media trial of Ken Ofori-Atta.
In a statement cited on June 3, 2025, Agyepong detailed, “So what is wrong with this OSP? Is he conducting a public and media trial of Ken Ofori-Atta? As of now, no charges have been brought against Ken, so he’s not an accused person yet—even if the OSP sees him as a person of interest”.
“If the OSP has what he’s claiming he has, why hasn’t he charged Ken with all the assembled facts and evidence and started prosecution in a proper court of law? After all, people have been tried in absentia several times in the past. Does he need the physical presence of Ken before he does his job?”.
He added, “That cannot be the mandate of a prosecutor who should be busying himself trying to prove his case before a judge. When he claimed his life was under threat, didn’t he find it necessary to operate outside the country at our expense? If he could work outside the country, then he could equally reach Ken. This is clearly a PR stunt to justify himself in an office that should never have been set up in the first place—a worthless drain on our overstretched public purse.”
“I think Ken’s legal team should call his bluff. Why should Ken provide him with evidence that can incriminate him in a possible trial? The OSP is not a judge and should be stopped from exceeding its mandate.”
Kwabena Agyapong further revealed that as a patriot he wants all people who misconducted themselves whilst in government to face the laws.
He emphasised, “As a patriot of our beloved motherland Ghana, I want all who have misconducted themselves whilst in government to face the full consequences of their actions—but in a lawful way, not the high-handed Rambo-style invasions being systematically carried out in the name of ongoing investigations.”
“We the people will not condone any moves calculated to further damage our party’s brand on the altar of political expediency. Period.”
