Former Auditor-General Daniel Yao Domelevo has called on Ghanaians, including journalists, to support Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng in effectively carrying out his mandate. 

He emphasised the importance of backing the Special Prosecutor in the fight against corruption.

In an interview with Channel One TV on Monday, July 15, Domelevo praised Mr. Agyebeng for his dedication and zeal in combating corruption, describing his efforts as "fantastic." 

He highlighted the need for collective support to ensure the Special Prosecutor can continue his important work.

Domelevo pointed out that Mr. Agyebeng appears to be the only person seriously tackling corruption, despite facing numerous challenges. 

He urged Ghanaians to recognise the significance of the Special Prosecutor's role and to offer their encouragement and support.

By rallying behind the Special Prosecutor, Mr Domelevo believes that the fight against corruption can gain momentum and produce tangible results. 

He stressed the crucial role of public support in overcoming the obstacles that hinder progress in this critical area.

“Now we have Kissi Agyebeng, who is actually on top of the game. Instead of supporting him, you can see that institutional arrangements are 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 urged.

Additionally, Domelevo urged all 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.”
