Private legal practitioner and governance advocate, Professor Kwaku Asare, has expressed deep concern over what he describes as a pervasive culture of "behind-the-scenes begging" that undermines efforts to hold wrongdoers accountable in Ghana.
In a strongly worded Facebook post, Prof Asare, also known as "Kwaku Azar," lamented that whenever law enforcement initiates prosecution-particularly in cases involving public officials, politically connected individuals, or other influential figures-a familiar and troubling pattern emerges. "Chiefs arrive, clergy intervene, party elders plead.
All in a bid to derail lawful proceedings.
All behind closed doors," he noted.
