Host of Metro TV’s Good Evening Ghana, Paul Adom-Otchere, has accused the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, of working with an “evil” group of individuals who do not seek the best interests of Ghanaians.
In one of his shows, Mr Adom-Otchere noted that he was quite familiar with the individuals in question but failed to disclose their identities.
He was, however, convinced that these individuals, together with Mr Agyebeng, are not working for the betterment of the country. “He works with those clad faces; he works with evil people. Yes, I’ll say it evil again; they are evil people. Those his cabal; that’s his ring; they are evil. I know them well, they are evil people. That ring that he belongs to they are evil people,” he said.
Mr Adom-Otchere made this allegation against Mr Kissi Agyebeng while also accusing him of hiring a majority of individuals who lack legal background or legal education at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
According to the journalist, there are 300 individuals working at the OSP and out of this total figure, just 10 are legal practitioners.
“From the information that we picked up yesterday, here is this guy who has employed in his office 300 people. The OSP has employed 300 persons at a matter of public record. Now look at the distribution here, only 10 of them are lawyers. He employs 300 in his office. The 300 on the taxpayers money, only 10 are lawyers.
“Office of Special Prosecutor, what work are they doing there? Prosecutors work, when you go to the attorney general’s division where they are prosecuting and you see 100 people, 99 of them are lawyers because it is a lawyer’s work, it’s not marketing people’s work,” he said.
He further noted that some 80 individuals have been employed to take up research and media work. Mr Adom-Otchere such a figure is preposterous as big-time media houses in the country do not employ the services of such a number of research workers.
“Now check out, 80 of the people he has employed are media and research. Is he a TV station, he has employed 80 people as media and research sitting at the office of the special prosecutor.
“Even we here Metro TV even the GBC they have plenty people other big TV stations, TV3 do they have 80 media research staff? What’s he doing there, what are they doing there and who and who does he work with?” he quizzed.
He has therefore called on the Special Prosecutor to render an account to Ghanaians.
Last week, the Office of the Special Prosecutor held a press conference where Mr Agyebeng condemned the interference by the judiciary in the OSP’s work.

State institutions are absolutely uzless when tasked to investigate officials and appointees of incumbent governments and only an ediot doesn't know this. How can a journalist and a lawyer(per rumours) in the person of Paul Adom make such spurious claims against the special prosecutor that he is working with evil people? We must be careful the level of impunity incumbency seems to confer on appointees in Ghana. That they can say anything and everything in any way they like about anybody and everybody in this county and get away with it? As for Paul Adom , the least said about him the better. Journalism for him is a tool to use against attackers of his corrupt paymasters but he should remember that nothing in this world lasts forever.
@ama serwaa The Christmas tree case was investigated by CHRAJ and no wrong doing was found. I beg make we think wai
Paul Adom Otchere, you are a complete ***barred word***! I don't blame you ooo. If you had been prosecuted for that Christmas tree saga and thrown into jail erh, you would not have the effrontery to speak about the OSP! You think we don't know that you are being paid by Cecilia Dapaah and her cohorts to run the OSP down in the media space??? You are a clown. Why am I even wasting words on someone who everybody knows to be a pathological liar?
