The special prosecutor is not a poodle of any political party

L & # 39; Hon. As director of communication of the new ruling patriotic party, Yaw Buaben Asamoa has repeatedly tried to make the public believe that he had the power, as communication director of his political party, to 39, tacitly instruct the special prosecutor in the media on how to proceed. performs the duties of his office.

The last attempt of the hon. Yaw Buaben Asamoa, MP for Adenta, in his capacity as director of communication of the new patriotic party, charged with leading and tacitly controlling my duties as a special prosecutor, figures in interviews that he has given to the media in response to the clarifications provided in a previous communication. Interview with Citi FM Breakfast Show on Monday, when I was called and questioned about the status of the case of Mr. Charles Bissues, that the public already knew that my office was already investigating. L & # 39; Hon. Yaw Buaben Asamoa acceded to my explanation and public information throughout the interview to go to the defense of the Criminal Investigations Department, as it was known to be. 39, a department of deaf-mutes.

L & # 39; Hon. That's what Yaw Buaben Asamoa did in pretending to lead me as an ignorant on how to perform the duties of my position:

"I do not think it's helpful to be at both ends of the table with the CID. I think it's better for him to look at this report, to look at the flaws, if he finds it in his overview, under the special prosecutors act, and then to address those issues. Nobody asked him not to work on Mr. Bissue's report, no one prevented him from moving to investigate the case and no one can stop him. "

Why does he complain all the time, let him do his job, it's as simple as that … "

The Honorable Yaw Buaben Asamoa as the communication officer of his party had the audacious daring to use the media to instruct me to sue "the fruits who miss, "no matter what it means.

L & # 39; Hon. Yaw Buaben Asamoa, director of communications of his party, thinks that the Ghanaians are so foolish that they can not suspect that his verbal attack on my office on Monday in the media can be interpreted by rational citizens as a subtle way to defend the CID and a party. colleague who was the subject of the alleged exemption. It seems to pretend not to understand that there are several subtle ways to interfere with a fair investigation and stop it indirectly.

The Ghanaian public has the right to know that political representatives appointed to public office are not allowed to choose their own forum for investigating corruption and corruption-related offenses, even when the suspect is both a political leader and a colleague of a political party. L & # 39; Hon. Yaw Buaben Asamoa also thinks that Ghanaians are so naive that they can not see in his unspoken instructions and attack me a CID defense by him and on behalf of his political party. Why defend a public institution while she is able to defend herself except to score political points?

I wish Hon. Yaw Buaben Asamoa to understand that the Office of the Special Prosecutor is governed by a law and that I am responsible for directing it in carrying out this mandate. I do not need any direct or indirect instruction from a post holder from any political party like him. It is time that he and other parties like him belonging to other political parties cease to confuse the fact that I was appointed by the President of the Republic, which means that it created an acquired right in the party. policy that helped him win the election. to lead me as a special prosecutor. I was appointed by the President in his capacity as executive authority of Ghana under the 1992 Constitution and not as a flag bearer of a political party.

L & # 39; Hon. Yaw Buaben Asamoa should understand that by my oath when I was appointed to Parliament, I would not be the poodle of any political party and that he, as director of communication of the new patriotic party, would not should not try to test my determination. If he thinks that I'm talking too much and that I'm not doing my job, the simple solution is to remove me from my job. Until then, he should leave me alone to continue to perform the independent functions of my office in accordance with the oath I have before Parliament and the oath I take when I am appointed Special Prosecutor.
