The Kissi Agyebeng inspired petition to Parliament to probe into EOCO’s failure to investigate the non-existing money laundering allegations against Cecilia Dapaah is an exercise in futility except when the self confessed corrupt National Democratic Congress (NDC) Speaker of Parliament decides to use the petition for transactional political purposes. An NDC Member of Parliament (MP) I brought up into the politics of the Fourth Republic just also confessed that one cannot be an MP without being corrupt. Is that true?

The changing narrative shows that the corrupt and fraudulent William Kissi Agyebeng, the modern day John Ackah Blay-Miezah of our era, has assessed the inevitability of an impending waterloo in the court cases he had brought against Cecilia Abena Dapaah and the human rights and freedoms relief for injunction she brought against him for the infringement of her constitutional rights and is looking for a lifesaving escape through the side door.

Even at the height of incompetence and inexperience, no Special Prosecutor (unless he was intent on grievous mischief in abuse of the court process) who had petitioned the Chief Justice to remove a justice of the High Court from hearing all cases from the OSP before that High Court, will seek the supervisory relief of certiorari without asking for the accompanying relief of prohibition to restrain the judge and the court in the same application.

Any citizen upon whom the Special Prosecutor purports to give notice under regulation 20 of L.I. 2374 who has not been charged with any one of the eleven (11) specified corruption or corruption-related offences would commit no offence under Section 69(1) of Act 959 for non-compliance because the demand pursuant to regulation 20 of L. I. 2374 would have been made by the Special Prosecutor unlawfully. The Special Prosecutor took no valid statement on caution from Cecilia Dapaah or charged her with any specified offence.

The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, is running away with his tail between his legs from the adversarial process of the High Court even in matters which are sub judice. The proper forum for a competent and an experienced Special Prosecutor to state why the five bank accounts should be de-frozen when the matter is already in court, is before the High Court and not in the media to con the unsuspecting public.

The certified true copy of the ruling of the High Court vindicates my published opinion on 7 September 2023 and dated 6 September 2023 which should be read alongside this discourse for a holistic understanding of the necessity for the OSP remaining a professional law enforcement institution and not an unlawful and unconstitutional unruly monster. A rogue law enforcement institution becomes itself a crime scene needing to be cleansed to uphold the integrity of Act 959 and the 1992 Constitution.

Kissi Agyebeng appears to have personalized and politicized investigating the Cecilia Dapaah case as though he has a hidden agenda to use her to prove his competence as a Special Prosecutor. Should Ghanaians allow Kissi Agyebeng to turn the OSP into an unruly unconstitutional monster, then no citizen will be free from his inquisitorial and prosecutorial tentacles. Kissi Agyebeng used the OSP to violate constitutional rights of those citizens involved in the Labianca case; he abused Professor Frimpong-Boateng’s right to presumption of innocence; and it is now the turn of Cecilia Dapaah. It will be YOU the next time, should we all keep quiet.

The Ghana Police Service should as a matter of urgency and fairness investigate sources of alleged leaks as mandated by Section 74 of Act 959, and the Special Prosecutor will have to be the subject of this investigation himself to establish which authorized officers committed the offences. The Police cybersecurity department is capable of tracing the sources of the video and other publications on social media. The integrity of the OSP is clearly at stake if the presumption of innocence guaranteed the citizen is to be protected.
