In this piece, react to the Attorney General's response to my position that Ghanaians needed to know the reason for the mass discontinuation of criminal cases.
I also address the call by some NDC foot soldiers that I must apologise to President Mahama for associating him with the "clearing agent" tag and the claim that I hate the president. (Some even say I hate northerners). On Monday, February 10, 2025, I wrote an article and said, "Ghanaians deserve to know the basis for the government's mass discontinuation of court cases against officials and associates of the previous Mahama administration." In my article, I agreed that some of the cases had raised questions among Ghanaians and their discontinuation did not come as a surprise, but others, especially some of the cases that bordered on corruption and financial losses to the state ought to have been completed, especially when the Mahama administration promised to recover loot and punish those who have stolen from the public purse.
I titled the article "Chief Clearing Agent," and after laying the foundation for my argument and call for answers, I explained the title of my article with the following words: "I nicknamed Akufo-Addo the Chief Clearing Agent, and Mahama seems to relish that title." My article was widely republished and discussed by many media houses under different headlines, but the above were my words, which are still on my social media pages.
The government reacted, indicating it would give reasons, though some people thought otherwise.
