Journalist and lawyer, Ken Kuranchie, has formally petitioned President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to remove Kissi Agyebeng from his position as Special Prosecutor.
The petition, which outlines allegations of misconduct and incompetence, centers on claims that Agyebeng engaged the services of the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate staff within the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
Kuranchie asserts that these actions violate both the mandate of the Special Prosecutor and the rights of the office's employees.
The petition invokes Section 15(1) of the Special Prosecutor Act, Act 959 of 2017, which provides a legal framework for the removal of the Special Prosecutor if grounds for "stated misbehaviour or incompetence" are established.
