I exercised my right as a citizen of Ghana to bring the petition myself and I have no regrets for doing so despite the rigged outcome smacking of the exercise of the relics of imperial medieval powers. I am, however, confident that history shall absolve me when the content of my petition and the review submitted by the Chief Justice become available to the public for its evaluation. When the vendetta and trials of mere suspects in the court of public opinion start again, the utility of my petition will be remembered.

The Special Prosecutor of the OSP, Kissi Agyebeng’s inability to present the corruption offences suspected to have been committed by Charles Adu Boahen, and Anas Aremeyaw Anas under Sections 239 and 179C of Act 29 were deliberately actuated and influenced by his conflict of interest of which he was conscious.

The Special Prosecutor cannot be allowed to choose the persons he wishes to investigate and whose cases he would publish in his half-yearly report of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and leave out serious cases of corruption and corruption-related offences of procurement malpractices, abuse of public office for profit, and corruption of public officers of persons to whom he was the lawyer in the on-going investigations before he assumed his position in the OSP.

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.

After excelling in unlawfully fishing for evidence to prosecute citizens in violation of the enjoyment of their fundamental rights and freedoms to personal liberty and presumption of innocence, Kissi Agyebeng, the Special Prosecutor has now graduated to fishing for a court and a judge to do his bidding in the investigation and prosecution of all cases he prosecutes before the courts of Ghana. He is more competent, and experienced in the persecution of citizens presumed innocent by law in the court of public opinion than at an adversarial trial before a court of law.
