Member of Parliament for Kade, Alexander Agyare
The Member of Parliament for Kade, Alexander Agyare, has stated that the conduct of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Kissi Agyebeng, appears to be a calculated effort to safeguard his job rather than serve the public interest.
According to the MP, the contrasting track record of the OSP during the former Akufo-Addo New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration and the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) government raises serious concerns about the office’s impartiality.
Mr. Agyare described the OSP’s approach as “purely hypocritical,” accusing the office of deviating from its core mandate in an attempt to please political paymasters.
“What I am saying is that Kissi Agyebeng wasn’t appointed recently. His behavior is strange and unfamiliar to Ghanaians. Was he engaged in such frequent public addresses under the NPP? How many press conferences or briefings did he hold then, compared to this year alone? You have to understand my point,” he said.
He continued, “Again, compare the cases he handled over the past three to four years in office with what he’s done in just the last five months. It clearly shows he is focused on safeguarding his job. Many people prioritize personal interests in their duties, but the office he holds is crucial to Ghana’s progress. We expect him to deliver, not offer these lamentations.”
The MP further questioned the credibility of the OSP’s current posture: “Is the OSP trying to suggest that, after four years in office, he is only now beginning to work? Are they saying he didn’t discover any corruption cases before?
“I don’t support anyone embezzling state funds because those funds belong to the people. But what I dislike is hypocrisy,” said the Kade MP.
