A leading member of the governing\u00a0New Patriotic Party\u00a0(NPP), Hopeson Adorye, has launched scathing attacks on the Special Prosecutor, SP,\u00a0Kissi Agyebeng, over his decision to investigate matters relating to the Will of late Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (alias\u00a0Sir John)<\/p>\n
Speaking on Accra-based Asempa FM, he stated that the Special Prosecutor has for a year, ignored a petition he sent to his office but has jumped straight into action upon a Will being circulated on social media.<\/p>\n
According to him, the Special Prosecutor ought not to be involved in the\u00a0Sir John\u00a0Will brouhaha as it was a matter of an individual who has acquired wealth and properties and willed it to his relatives and loved ones.<\/p>\n
He argued that he would not have had any concerns if, during the lifetime of\u00a0Sir John, he was found culpable in acts of corruption.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomebody has gotten his money and properties and says upon my demise this person should inherit them. Funds allocated to the Office of the Special Prosecutor are not being used to fight corruption.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are in this country engaged in corrupt acts, Special Prosecutor must arrest them. Is it somebody\u2019s Will [to concern yourself about]? person was alive and found to have engaged in corruption and was being invited, no problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at the number of corruption cases we have mentioned [but no action has been taken]. Is this what we want to use Ghana\u2019s money for? That we waste our time on somebody\u2019s Will being circulated on social media?\u201d a livid Hopeson Adorye quizzed.<\/p>\n
On the executors of the Will, the former\u00a0New Patriotic Party\u00a0(NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Kpone-Katamanso lamented the seeming targeting of Charles Owusu, one of the executors, for prosecution by the Special Prosecutor.<\/p>\n
He charged\u00a0Kissi Agyebeng\u00a0to prosecute both executors while additionally cautioning him to desist from being \u2018picky\u2019 with issues he prosecutes.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo people are the executors of the Will, Special Prosecutor should take all of them to court. Why has he singled out one person for prosecution? I sent my petition and it hasn\u2019t been acknowledged. Pick and choose cases? If he does that, we will take him on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sir John\u2019s Will dominated the news following portions of it that detailed that portions of the Achimota Forest have been given to relatives and close associates.<\/p>\n
Aside from that, the Will contained several other properties houses and plots of land which were also willed to family and friends.<\/p>\n
Following that the Special Prosecutor has frozen the assets while he continues with investigations into the matter.<\/p>\n
