Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has clarified that the Special Prosecutor’s office remains protected under law, and any attempt to remove the officeholder must follow due legal and parliamentary procedures.
His comments follow the submission of three petitions to President John Mahama calling for the removal of the Special Prosecutor, citing perceived shortcomings in the office’s performance.
Kwakye Ofosu stressed that while citizens are entitled to voice their opinions, any action to remove the OSP must adhere strictly to legal processes and parliamentary scrutiny.
Speaking exclusively to EIB Network’s Presidential Affairs Correspondent, Abdul-Hanan Adam, Kwakye Ofosu said, “Are those reservations or misgivings justified? But I’m saying that in terms of the rights of those individuals to express their views about the OSP and the functional necessity of that office, they are entitled to those views.”
He further emphasized, “Because the OSP’s office was created by law. So I’m sure the process to reverse him should not be difficult to identify. But as I sit here, let me indicate and state for the avoidance of doubt that I’ve had no indication or communication from the president.”
