Reports gathered suggest President John Dramani Mahama has forwarded three petitions seeking the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng to the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie.
According to the report, President Mahama received 10 petitions for the removal of two heads of public institutions and two deputies appointed under Article 70 of the Constitution.
A news flyer by JoyNews, which was shared on social media, revealed that the two institutions are the Electoral Commission (EC) and the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
It will be recalled, Shamima Muslim, the Deputy Presidential Spokesperson, received ‘Agro Ne Fom’ protestors petition demanding the removal of the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.
The deputy Presidential Spokesperson received the petition and assured Ghanaians that no citizen should fear exercising their constitutional rights.
Apostle Abraham Lincoln Larbi led the group of Ghanaians to stage a protest in Accra, demanding the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng from office.
They argued that President Mahama must either terminate the appointment of the Special Prosecutor or dissolve the office entirely.
Speaking to the media during the protest, Martin Kpebu, who was also a the protest, accused the Special Prosecutor of not telling Ghanaians the truth.
“He claimed that before Ofori-Atta travelled, he saw a letter the former minister wrote to both the outgoing chief of staff and the incoming chief of staff. How do you see such a letter?”
“He said he went to Immigration to seek help and didn’t get help. It has turned out to be false. He said he went to National Security for assistance to arrest Ofori-Atta and again claimed he didn’t get help. It has turned out to be false,” Kpebu continued.
“So when your Special Prosecutor comes to lie to Ghanaians that he was attempting to arrest Ofori-Atta, and yet he has no evidence, and the state institutions are denying it, that alone is sufficient grounds for Kissi Agyebeng to resign,” he stressed.
Mr Kpebu further invoked Ghana’s constitutional, “The constitution says that sovereignty resides in the people of Ghana. That is the centre of our constitution. The thing that holds our constitution together is the principle that ultimate power belongs to the people,” he explained.
“So once Ghanaians are the sovereign, if you are running a public institution and anybody is frustrating you—assuming without admitting that anyone is frustrating you, you must report to the people of Ghana so that they, as the owners of power, will know what to do,” he said.
“In this case, Kissi Agyebeng should have organised a press conference to inform Ghanaians that NIB, National Security, and Immigration were frustrating him,” Mr Kpebu concluded.
Apostle Abraham Lincoln Larbi also called on President Mahama to act swiftly to restore public confidence in anti-corruption institutions.
Receiving the protesters’ petition on behalf of the Presidency, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Shamima Muslim stated, “I am very happy when citizens mobilise to exercise their constitutional rights to freedom of expression”.
“His Excellency has assured all citizens, regardless of political persuasion, that no one should feel fearful in expressing their rights. Your demonstration today is an activation of our living constitution. You are welcome, and we are happy to receive your petition”, he added.
In addition, Martin Kpebu has disclosed that 15 separate petitions have been submitted seeking the Special Prosecutor’s removal.
