The Chairman of the Political Affairs Committee of the Convention People's Party (CPP), Kwame Jantuah, has said that the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, was frustrated while handling certain high-profile cases in the country.

Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo has directed Kissi Agyabeng to "provide his comments on the matters raised" in a petition to her seeking an impeachment process against him.

As required by Article 146 of the Constitution, the Chief Justice is in the process of deciding if there is prima facie evidence to establish a committee for Mr. Agyabeng's impeachment.

In the letter dated May 16, 2024, the Chief Justice stated that the SP's comments on the issues raised will "enable the Honourable Chief Justice to determine if a prima facie case has been made."

Commenting on the development during the Weekly Review Show on Starr FM, Mr. Jantuah stated that the Special Prosecutor needed some form of solace in handling some of the political cases.

"If you hear some of the things that he said, you could see that he was frustrated by the so-called interruption that he was facing with the case. That was where he indicated that he would be handing over the case to EOCO."

"Now, the challenge is, if the Special Prosecutor is going through certain frustrations, who does he go to seek some kind of redress? Does he go to the appointing authority to try and discuss it? Does he go to the Attorney General? Who does he go to air out his frustrations?" he asked.

"Or does he come back to the public as he has done in the past for the public to judge whether the things he is saying are hampering his work? I would have thought that the Special Prosecutor's position, when President Nana Addo formed it, was sacrosanct in terms of the work he does," he added.
