Many days have elapsed since the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng was involved in an accident in Agbogba a suburb of Accra.
The matter has not gone through standard procedure of being reported to the Police for investigations to be conducted as required by law.
Public opinion about the matter is worrying…there is an impression in the street that some persons are above law. Persons in the highest echelon of society are above the law and so exempt from standard procedure.
A society which is managed along the lines of the foregone is not worth living in because such discrimination or selectiveness in the application of the law does not inure to the interest of good governance and justice administration.
How would the public view the Special Prosecutor when he goes after politicians for allegedly involved cases bordering on graft and thievery of the public kitty.
It is also being alleged that the Special Prosecutor has taken steps to as it were ‘kill the case’.
For someone with a penchant to engaging the media when there is suspicion that some politicians have been involved in corruption even with the slimmest of evidence it is surprising that to date no statement has originated from the Special Prosecutor’s office.
Equally worrying is the silence on the part of the Police who have been doing well with releasing statements when incidents occur.
The Special Prosecutor’s accident is of course something the public would be interested in knowing especially since it smacks of abuse of office.
The Office Of Special Prosecutor has never flexed its muscles as it has done in the past few months into the administration of the NDC.
Until the foregone was played out, the Rambo style arrests and the media adjudication of suspected cases of corruption many hardly knew about the office.
The incident under review offers a rare opportunity for the Special Prosecutor to let Ghanaians know that he is just and would not be a personality to breach the law.
Under the circumstances it is palpable that he is in breach of the law having failed to report the accident and even as it is being alleged pulling strings to ‘kill the case.’
As contained in a story on the subject in this edition a fruit seller as a result of the incident has lost her wares after soldiers allegedly swarmed the location and took away her the source of her livelihood.
The strange action of the soldiers suggests that they worked upon the orders of a superior person to clear evidence from the scene.
The case, there is no doubt has died and nothing would come out of it leaving us with the bitter conclusion that there is hardly equality before the law under the current political dispensation.
