Dr. Palgrave Boakye-Danquah, the former government spokesperson on Governance and Security, has questioned Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng’s competence.
According to the Security Strategist and Governance Expert, the Special Prosecutor is acting as someone who never took his legal education seriously.
He slams Kissi Agyebeng for declaring Ken Ofori-Atta as a wanted fugitive regarding alleged corruption.
He said in an interview with Rainbow Radio, “OSP is a lawyer, but he is behaving as if he did not take his law lessons seriously. A fugitive is someone who has escaped jail or someone who has been condemned or convicted. The proper fugitive he ought to go after is Sedina Tamakloe, the woman who has been sentenced to a ten-year jail term for spending state resources. She is now in the United States and has refused to come over to serve her jail term of hard labour. She is the fugitive who must be pursued. And so, if the OSP has left her and refused to go after, then he lacks understanding of his law profession and did not understand his lessons while in school."
"This is pure national embarrassment. He is embarrassing the country. Do you know what the interesting thing is? We have become a laughingstock. There are some times that are done indoors. Where was diplomacy when this was being done? The next time you mention Ghana instead of talking about gold, the Black Star, cocoa, and oil, they will say, Your finance minister was a fugitive instead of misinformation?" he stated.
According to him, the person who deserves to be declared a fugitive of justice is the former CEO of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Sedina Tamakloe who has refused to return to Ghana to serve her jail term for corruption offences.
"The former MASLOC chief, Sedina Tamakloe, who was tried in absentia and given a ten-year jail sentence for corruption and corruption-related offences, should be designated a fugitive," he argues.

Ghana is for the NPP, so when things don't go your way, they hate it, but you need to understand that Ghanaians voted you out because of the same problems you are entertaining in the opposition.
