Richard Ahiagbah, the National Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has requested that Kissi Agyebeng, the Special Prosecutor, alter his method of working.
According to him, the arrest of the Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Kofi Ofosu Nkansah for allegedly campaigning with NEIP money could have been investigated first, before the arrest.
“I think that the Special Prosecutor is working; we want him to work. I support him to work, but he needs to sanitize his approach a little bit. The days when these kinds of siege attacks and the rest of them happened are in the past. It’s a democracy; invite the gentleman; he will come. Whatever the concerns are, I think you can have a civil, democratic conversation about how to deal with it. But these kinds of populist invitations and attacks, I think, are a thing of the past”, he said.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM, he emphasized that, some of the OSP’s work, tends to put Ghana in some kind of negative spotlight in the minds of other countries.
“We will encourage all the institutions to work. But they must understand that they need to sanitize their approach so they don’t create a public spectacle. The appearance of something that has happened, which perhaps may not be of that magnitude. The process of the invitation will generate for the public creates a very negative public perception of the individuals and the process”, he added.
He reiterated that the issue has been resolved and it is best of democracy.
