New Patriotic Party's (NPP) Director of Legal Affairs, Gary Nimako Marfo, refutes accusations linking President Nana Akufo-Addo to an alleged effort to oust Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.

Speaking on Asaase 99.5's The Forum on Saturday (May 25), Marfo dismissed the allegations as baseless and untrue.

“Anybody saying that the Jubilee House or His Excellency the President is behind a move or an attempt to kick out my own brother, Kissi Agyebeng, that statement is false; there is no merit in it as a matter of fact, it is not true.”

Marfo, asserting a close friendship with Agyebeng, asserted that had there been any validity to the accusations, he would have been informed either by government channels or directly from the Special Prosecutor himself.

“I would have been aware about this particular matter,” Marfo said. “Either I’ll hear from government cycles myself or Kissi himself would have told me that there’s a suggestion that he should resign and he has refused to resign and therefore he’s now being hounded out of office. That suggestion has not come.”

He also cast doubt on the credibility of private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, who levied the accusations, advising the public to dismiss the assertions.

“It is not true and the person who said it, that is Martin Kpebu, who made a statement, I’m telling you he has no credibility at all. I don’t know where he heard it from. I am saying that it is not true and the public should disregard all these things and let’s move on with our lives.”
