Speaking during a meeting with the National Peace Council, Mahama stressed that dismantling the Office of the Special Prosecutor at this stage would be hasty and counterproductive, noting the need to strengthen institutions that promote transparency and good governance.

He also appealed to the special prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, to accelerate its investigations and improve the pace at which it works.

“I think it is premature to call for the scrapping of the Office of the Special Prosecutor. We should give them a little time, and I urge the office to speed up with its work."
