Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Abdul Malik Kwaku Baako, has described the petition filed by former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu for the removal of Kissi Agyebeng as Special Prosecutor, as nonsensical.
Kissi Agyebeng happened to be a lawyer for investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas who was trained by Kwaku Baako.
In a post under a Facebook comment made by the Executive Director of the Centre for Democratic Governance (CDD) Professor Kwasi Prempeh who had written about the petition for Kissi Agyebeng removal, Kwaku Baako said “Oh! My friend Martin! I see. Still nonsensical! I am yet to see or read the petition though! Nonsense, respectfully!!
Martin Amidu, also a former Attorney-General filed the petition against Kissi Agyebeng on the grounds of procurement breaches in the purchase of vehicles for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and abuses involving judges and the administration of justice as part of his call for Mr. Agyebeng’s impeachment.
Other allegations include violations of citizens’ rights through arrests and detentions, violations of the right to information, and improper appointments of personnel to the office.
Additionally, Mr. Amidu alleges a violation of the right to information when he requested appointment letters and salary details of all OSP staff to be put on a pen drive for him, which Mr. Agyebeng refused
The petition which has been confirmed by Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, dated April 30, 2024, has been presented to President Akufo-Addo and forwarded to the Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo, on May 6, 2024.
The Chief Justice, according to sources, is determining whether there is a prima facie case to establish a committee for Mr. Agyebeng’s removal as required by the Constitution in Article 146.
