James Kwabena Bomfeh, popularly called Kabila, has lambasted security agencies and the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) for failing to undertake undercover investigations like ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo, Kabila was extremely disgusted at the failures by the country's security forces - BNI, Criminal Investigative Department (CID) and the rest - because to him; they should have been doing the work of Anas to unravel corruption in governmental systems.

He questioned their right to receive salaries when they cannot name and shame corrupt officials in the country.

Kabila also ascribed the increasing rate of corruption to failures of the State machinery.

“They have failed to do this job. It has taken Anas to do it and exposé after exposé; how has the State reacted? I have no doubt in my mind that the judges’ issue, it will go just the same way unquestioned.

"Bureau of National Investigations; though I can’t quantify the personnel that work there every month but Nana Yaw Kesse, assume they’re about 100 personnel. We pay every one of them, from the last employee there to the top Director of BNI. What do we pay them to do?”

Kabila further told host Nana Yaw that Anas and his Tiger Eye investigative team's exposé of the rot in the judicial service is of grave concern to the progress of the nation.

“When we say Ghana is not working for Ghanaians, people have questions to ask. This is what we mean when we say Ghana is not working and we need to make work again for Ghanaians. The State is failing its citizens.

“Of all the arms of government, we can tolerate some fault; some wrong but for the judiciary…then the country is at the verge of collapse," he stated.
