A group of concerned citizens led by Apostle Abraham Lincoln on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, marched to the Jubilee House to petition President John Dramani Mahama for the removal of the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng.
The group described the march as a constitutional exercise of their right to protest, insisting that the Special Prosecutor has lost the confidence of a section of the public and can no longer effectively hold public officials accountable.
Addressing journalists, Apostle Abraham Lincoln underscored the importance of citizens openly expressing their views on national issues and demanding accountability from duty bearers. He stressed that public officials are “servants, not owners” of the state and must continually respect the people of Ghana.
“Citizens must express their feelings about issues that are not going well in the country. Public officials are accountable to us; they are not our masters,” he said.
The protesters said they were particularly angered by the decision of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to allow former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to travel outside the country when, in their view, he should have been under closer scrutiny.
They argued that this development is evidence of incompetence on the part of the Special Prosecutor.
“Allowing Ken Ofori-Atta to leave the country shows the Special Prosecutor is incompetent,” one of the protesters said, adding that they would have stormed the airport to stop his departure “if we knew he was travelling.”
The petitioners said their march to the Jubilee House was to seek redress and formally call on the President to act swiftly by removing the Special Prosecutor from office.
They maintained that their action forms part of a broader effort to ensure that accountability institutions work in the interest of the Ghanaian people.
