Former
Auditor-General,
Daniel
Yao
Domelevo,
has
urged
Ghanaians,
including
journalists,
to
support
Special
Prosecutor,
Kissi
Agyebeng,
to
effectively
deliver
on
his
mandate.
In
an
interview
with
Bernard
Avle
on
The
Point
of
View
on
Channel
One
TV, the
former
Auditor-General
praised
Mr.
Agyebeng
for
his
zeal
in
the
fight
against
corruption,
stating
that
he
is
doing
a
“fantastic
job”
and
deserves
support.
He
noted
that
the
Special
Prosecutor
is
the
only
person
who
seems
to
be
taking
the
corruption
fight
seriously,
despite
the
obstacles
he
faces,
and
emphasised
the
need
for
Ghanaians
to
encourage
and
support
him.
“Let
me
be
very
honest
with
you,
I’m
one
of
the
people
who
were
not
very
enthused
about
the
creation
of
the
Office
of
Special
Prosecutor.
If
it
was
a
lack
of
mandate,
I
think
the
existing
institutions
could
have
just
been
mandated
to
do
their
work.
“But
if
that
is
what
will
take
for
us
to
fight
corruption,
I
have
no
problem.
That
is
why
when
[the
former
Special
Prosecutor]
Martin
Amidu
came,
I
embraced
him,
and
we
worked
together.
You
can
see
the
frustrations
that
he
went
through,
and
finally,
he
bowed
out.
“Now
we
have
Kissi
Agyebeng,
who
is
actually
on
top
of
the
game.
Instead
of
supporting
him,
you
can
see
that
there
are
institutional
arrangements
going
on.
Some
funny
developments,
at
times
you
hear
there’s
a
petition
for
him
to
be
removed,
later
on,
we
heard
that
the
one
who
petitioned
says
he
didn’t
petition.
Later
we
heard
Chief
Justice
say
that
your
petition
has
been
thrown
out
because
we
didn’t
find
any
prima
facie
case.
And
I
said
what
are
all
these?
“If
Kissi
Agyebeng
himself
is
put
in
a
situation
where
every
day
he’s
fighting
for
his
job,
how
effective
do
you
expect
him
to
be?
The
young
man
is
doing
a
fantastic
job.
Many
people
would
have
been
demoralised
and
just
become
like
vegetables
in
the
office
by
now.
“But
he’s
still
performing,
so
I
think
we
need
to
encourage
him,
he
seems
to
be
the
only
person
who
has
taken
the
fight
against
corruption
seriously
these
days
and
he
needs
all
of
us
our
support
including
you
the
journalists.”
He
also
urged
Ghanaians
to
join
the
fight
against
corruption.
“We
have
a
situation
even
where
state
properties
are
being
shared
just
like
a
cake
being
shared
at
a
wedding.
If
we
don’t
stand
up
against
it,
what’s
going
to
happen
is
that
it
will
become
accepted
in
society
and
that
is
to
our
end…We
all
have
to
fight.”
