Ghana: Public Outcry Demands Special Prosecutor's Dismissal

Ghana: Calls Grow for Special Prosecutor's Dismissal A wave of public discontent is sweeping through Ghana, fueled by a viral video alleging misconduct and financial mismanagement within the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). The video, posted by A media on May 22nd, 2025, has sparked widespread debate about the OSP's effectiveness and accountability. The video alleges that Kissi Agyabeng, the Special Prosecutor, is a "thief" and "criminal" and calls for his dismissal. It points to the OSP's substantial budget allocation of GH¢146,750,289 for 2025 as a source of concern. The video's author, A media, states, "Mr. President, we are going to demonstrate against Kissi Agyabeng." The video does not provide concrete evidence to support these claims. The video's popularity and the strong emotions it evokes highlight the need for transparency and accountability within the OSP. Further investigation is required to verify the allegations and determine the appropriate course of action. The Ghanaian government is yet to respond to the allegations raised in the video.
