Following Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng’s rants on the judiciary, Alhaji Masawud Osman, the 3rd National Vice Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party, has taken a shot at Agyebeng. This is in response to Agyebeng’s statements.
The Special Prosecutor underlined his disappointment with what he described as quick dismissiveness of its cases by the court during a news conference.
He warns that the actions of the courts will seriously undermine the efforts of the nation to combat corruption, and he emphasises the importance of this point.
While Alhaji Masawud Osman was discussing several significant factors that could hinder his party’s chances of beating the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the elections that would take place in 2024, he made a brief swipe at the Special Prosecutor.
Kissi Agyebeng, the Special Prosecutor, ought to conduct an investigation into the members of the New Democratic Congress who pooled money during their primaries. Because he is employed by the NDC, he is acting in a biassed manner. According to Alhaji Masawud Osman, who was speaking to Akosua Asabea Asomaning on Accra-based Original TV, “I can confidently tell you that he is a staunch member of the National Democratic Congress in addition to the fact that he has employed over 300 staff members in his office who have failed to make any impact in fighting corruption.”

In continuation, he stated, “The Special Prosecutor is a person who is extremely corrupt and criminal.” In spite of the fact that his job is aimed at removing corruption from our system, he is actually working against the NPP. The fact that Akufo-Addo is so dedicated to the battle against corruption is the reason he insisted on providing support to the office of the Special Prosecutor in its efforts to combat corruption.
