Former President John Dramani Mahama has challenged the new Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng to investigate the current government and its appointees for corrupt practices.
According to him, it’s glaring that people who were involved in deals deemed corrupt under his government are either imprisoned or are standing trial.
So it’s imperative that he focuses on the current government and investigates the various corrupt practices even though it’s the same government that appointed him.
The former President said the success or failure of Kissi Agyebeng as a Special Prosecutor will be more dependent on this.

“He’s a young enterprising lawyer, he’s got a brilliant career and in private practice, he’s been well respected so now that Parliament has passed him I hope that he will move that expertise and brilliance into the job of investigating corruption across the board.
Most of the corruption age-old would have been held accountable by now and that is why you have people who were in my government standing trial, there are some who have been sent into prison.
So some of the corruption that is happening will be happening under the current dispensation and so the fact that this particular President and government-appointed you are you going to be able to cut through and be able to go into investigating acts of corruption that are taking place not only under this government but with people who are very close to the seat of power, that will determine whether he’s successful or he’s a failure but I wish him well.”
