General News of Thursday, 29 April 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comMartin Alamisi Burnes Kaiser Amidu has described the nomination of Lawyer Kissi Agyebeng as his successor at the Office of Special Prosecutor (OSP) as “a surrogate” of persons implicated in the Agyapa Royalties Transaction Corruption Assessment report. According to him, Kissi Agyebeng’s appointment is to safeguard the interests of persons the corruption assessment report implicated. Anybody who cares to know knows that the alter ego of Africa Legal Associates is a cousin of the President who also established Asaase Radio which began official transmission on 14 June 2020. “My functions or my judgement and decision as the Special Prosecutor to resign my office under Act 959 was not subject to the supervision or judgement of civil society actors let alone those of them who secretly attend Government policy-making meetings as I had occasion to point out in writing previously. “In exercise of brazen impunity, Asaase Radio reported online a matter which never featured in my resignation for pure political propaganda to facilitate and enhance the status of its surrogate “Agyapa” Special Prosecutor even before the president could indicate his acceptance of the nominee and forward a request to parliament,” Amidu’s statement read further.
