Kissi Agyebeng, the Special Prosecutor, has clarified his remarks on the judiciary and emphasized that they were not intended to garner public sympathy or launch an attack on the legal system.
Agyebeng emphasized in a Citi TV interview that the purpose of his remarks was to draw attention to alleged shortcomings in the court system.
"I wasn't looking for sympathy," he declared. Let me reiterate what I said earlier: you examine it objectively and don't get caught up in the craze of "Why is he attacking the judiciary?" That's how people who were reacting badly to me understood it, but I wasn't criticizing the legal system.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, November 29, 2023, the Special Prosecutor voiced serious worries about the rising trend of dismissive decisions in corruption cases and issued a warning that this might have disastrous effects on the nation's anti-corruption initiatives.
The exoneration of former government employee Cecilia Dapaah in a corruption case and the denial of a court order to freeze the estate of former NPP General Secretary Kojo Owusu Afriyie, despite growing charges of corruption against his estate, are two of the four specific cases that Agyebeng cited as examples of this trend.
