    Don’t allow corrupt heads of public institutions to go scot-free – Haruna Iddrisu to SP

    Haruna Iddrisu, Minority Leader, has charged Kissi Agyebeng, Special Prosecutor (SP), to deal with heads of public institutions who turn out to be corrupt.

    According to him, the SP should not make it a point to target only political officeholders as a means of fighting corruption.

    He said heads of public institutions have always gone untouched because politicians are the ones that corruption probes and prosecutions target.

    Before Kissi Agyebeng was approved as Special Prosecutor on July 30, Haruna Iddrisu said on the floor of the House that, “Chief Directors and Chief Executives are left as if they don’t [engage in corruption]. Some of them do, and there is evidence. The focus should not only be on petty corruption where you see a policeman stop a trotro driver.”

    Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Majority Leader, on the other hand, called for a review of the laws governing the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
    He noted that it will empower the Special Prosecutor in the execution of his mandate.

    Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu stated that the review of the laws will also prevent the Special Prosecutor from becoming a “toothless bulldog who can only bark but will not be able to bite.”

    Kissi Agyebeng was then approved by Parliament after the recommendation from the Appointment Committee was read to the MPs.

    “The committee has duly recommended the nominee of the President for the appointment of the Special Prosecutor in line with the Section 13 (3) and (8) of the Special Prosecutor Act 2017 and the standing orders of Parliament and recommends the nominee Mr. Kissi Agyebeng to the House for approval.”

    Kissi Agyebeng will be succeeding Martin Amidu as the Special Prosecutor.

  • CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, BAD MESSAGE, BAD PRECEDENCE SONA 2021

    CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, BAD MESSAGE, BAD PRECEDENCE SONA 2021

    Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu has slammed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for not telling Ghanaians the country’s current debt stock in his first State of the Nation’s Address (SoNA) of his second term delivered on Tuesday, 9 March 2021 before parliament.

    President Akufo-Addo, while delivering the address, described his government as “good managers of the economy and we are good protectors of the public purse”, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Reacting to the address, Mr Iddrisu wondered why the state of the country’s debt was left out of the President’s address.

    The Minority leader said;

    1. No mention was made on the total National Debt as was the case in 2017.

    2. No mention was made of the controversial LGBTQ.

    3. No clear cut blue print on how to combat Corruption and galamsey.

    4. No mention was made on the Killing of innocent unarmed civilians by the police and military during the Dec 7th Elections and Collation.

    5. No mention was made on the current Power outages and government plans to avert that.

    6. No mention was made on the progress of investigations into the Murder of Ahmed Suale and the Media will be quite.

    7. No mention on the condition of work (salaries) of workers in general because there hasn’t been salary adjustments this year January as happens every year maybe the budget will capture that.

    8. No mention on the closure of Radio Stations

    9. No mention of Daniel Yao Domelovo and his great exploits at the Auditor General Department and how he Akuffo Addo contributed to the sacking of the Auditor General.

    10. No mention on the general state of insecurity especially when women cannot go and buy tomatoes from Burkina Faso again

    Empty State of the Nation’s Address No Vision, No Hope. Sad day for Ghana an Democracy.
