After
discontinuing
his
quest
to
remove
the
Special
Prosecutor
from
office,
former
NPP
member
Ken
Kuranchie
has
filed
a
fresh
writ
at
the
Supreme
Court.
He
seeks
to
have
the
creation
of
the
Office
of
the
Special
Prosecutor
(OSP)
and
its
powers
declared
unlawful.
Kuranchie
had
previously
withdrawn
an
earlier
writ
shortly
after
a
petition
to
impeach
the
Special
Prosecutor
was
announced.
The
new
writ,
filed
on
July
5,
comes
following
the
Chief
Justice’s
dismissal
of
the
impeachment
petition,
deeming
it
baseless
and
without
merit.
Kuranchie’s
writ
aims
to
have
the
Supreme
Court
declare
the
OSP’s
powers
of
arrest,
detention,
freezing,
and
seizure
as
unlawful
and
abusive.
Additionally,
it
seeks
to
place
the
OSP’s
prosecutorial
powers
under
the
direct
control
of
the
Attorney-General,
similar
to
the
EOCO,
Police,
and
NIB.
