BREAKING NEWS: Pressure Mounts in Ghana as Civil Society Groups Urge Mahama to Protect Anti-Corruption Chief

Political tensions are rising in Ghana after claims emerged that several Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) are pleading with former President John Dramani Mahama to intervene and protect Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.

Legal analyst Martin Kpebu alleged that growing pressure is being placed on the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), sparking fears over the future of Ghana’s anti-corruption fight.

According to him, many civic groups see Agyebeng as a key figure in the country’s campaign for accountability and transparency.

The controversy comes amid increasing political debate over the independence of anti-graft institutions and whether future leadership changes could weaken ongoing corruption investigations.

Kissi Agyebeng, who has led several high-profile probes, remains one of Ghana’s most closely watched public officials. His office has targeted corruption cases involving politically exposed persons, earning both praise and criticism.

The development is expected to intensify national debate as Ghanaians and international observers monitor the future of the country’s anti-corruption institutions.
