List of cases reported to be on special prosecutor’s table fake – Board Chair

Special Prosecutor

The Chairperson of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Board, Linda Ofori Kwafo, has questioned the authenticity of a list of 25 cases purported to be cases of interest that the special prosecutor has started investigating.

It has been widely reported in the media that former President, John Dramani Mahama; New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chair, Freddy Blay; Member of Parliament for Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga, among others have come under the radar of the special prosecutor in a total of 25 cases with one currently in court.

But at a press conference organized by the Ghana Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) Monday, Mrs Ofori Kwafo said the list is not authentic.

According to her, though the office is currently working on some cases of corruption, it is news to her that there is such a list in the public space, indicating she also heard of the said list in the media.

“I don’t speak for the OSP [Office of the Special Prosecutor], I don’t speak for that office but I just want us to all know that as much as we all want corruption dealt with and people investigated properly and sanctioned when the need arises we should also make sure the office works according to its procedures,” she advised.

“So it’s quite unfortunate a list is out but I’m not sure that is the list that even I got to know from the media”.

She added “that the special prosecutor is under no obligation to let the public in on the details of cases he is pursuing”

Mrs Ofori Kwafo therefore called on the general public and the media to exercise patience and allow the office of the special prosecutor to do its work.

2016 Election rigged – Mahama

Charlotte Osei and Former President John Dramani Mahama Former President John Dramani Mahama has cast doubts over the integrity of the elections which ousted him from power, claiming the polls were rigged. It’s the most strident remark he has made about the 7th December 2016 polls in recent times, suggesting that he is still smarting from the anguish of losing power in an election he believed he was going to win hands down come what may. The elections he lost registered him in the annals of local politics as the first sitting President to lose polls after just a term in office – the cause of his persistent sulking. He presented his impression about the 2016 polls last week at the Oxford University Said Business School Distinguished Speaker Seminar organized in collaboration with the African Studies Centre and the Oxford Africa Business Alliance. The presentation was shortly after making the headlines for describing as ‘useless’ the invitation by the Criminal Inve...
