NDC Communicator accuses OSP of acting on emotions, not reason
A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Team, Mr Ivan Kyei Innocent, has expressed serious concerns about the leadership and performance of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), claiming that the office has lost its sense of reasoning and consistency under the current Special Prosecutor, Mr. Kissi Agyebeng.
Speaking on Accra-based CTV’s Oman Ghana Nkosuo programme, hosted by Yaa Titi, Mr. Kyei Innocent said that while Mr. Agyebeng is known to be a very intelligent and capable lawyer, his biggest weakness is what he described as an inability to control his emotions, which he believes is affecting his professional judgment.
“I am told he is a very smart and highly intelligent lawyer, and those he taught in school can attest to that,” he said.
“But I think he has a deficiency, and that deficiency is that he is emotionally overbearing.
He is unable to control his emotions, and that is now overriding his sense of reasoning.”
According to the NDC communicator, a careful review of the Special Prosecutor’s various press briefings over time would reveal a lack of consistency in both position and approach.
He argued that the chronology of events, when laid out side by side, does not reflect a stable or coherent line of reasoning.
“If you take the series of press conferences held by the OSP, put them together and follow the timeline of events, you will realise that many of the statements do not tally.
The consistency is missing,” he stated.
Mr. Kyei Innocent also questioned the general effectiveness of the OSP, alleging that several high-profile matters handled by the office had failed to reach logical conclusions.
He described some of the outcomes as disappointing and unhelpful to the Ghanaian public, who look up to the office for accountability and justice.
He further expressed concern that public trust in the OSP is gradually declining as a result of what he perceives as emotional decisions, inconsistent communication, and the lack of clear prosecutorial direction.
Despite his criticisms, Mr. Kyei Innocent maintained that his comments were not personal attacks but rather a call for professionalism, emotional discipline, and institutional consistency in the work of the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
He called on the OSP to refocus on evidence-based decision-making, avoid unnecessary public commentary, and ensure that its actions restore confidence in Ghana’s justice and accountability system.
