Godfred Yeboah Dame, the youngest occupant of the Office of Attorney-General and Minister for Justice has, in the last two weeks, dimed the light on his shining performance. I have done only a couple of cases with him on the other side before and in his present office.

Many lawyers will confess he is simply good at his game, and feel proud that he is the man at the helm.

You may have seen the video of the West Hills Mall incident that has dominated the news. Yes, a crowd is gathering around someone on the floor in handcuffs. He turns briefly and stops. 

He seems lifeless. The cuffs are quickly removed. Management of the Mall said their security ensured he was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival that afternoon of 30th of January 2023. 

The UN environment programme tells us what we live and know, that Africa is rich in natural resources ranging from arable land, water, oil, natural gas, minerals, forests and wildlife.

The continent has 40% of the world’s gold and up to 90% of its chromium and platinum.

The largest reserves of cobalt, diamonds, platinum and uranium in the world are in Africa with 65% of the world’s arable land. This means Africa ought to be rich, not the symbol of poverty and underdevelopment.

In November 2020, respected anti-corruption crusader, Martin Amidu, resigned as the Special Prosecutor. In April 2021, Kissi Agyebeng was nominated.

He was vetted for the job by Parliament in July and sworn into office the next month – August 5. He was not paid a salary in 2021, not in 2022, and there is no indication he and his staff will be paid this or the next month or in 2023.

How did Cedi become the worst-performing currency globally? Now the wealthy and middle class in Ghana must be waking up to the consequences of their silence and docility exploited by politicians for their parochial ends.

Occupy Ghana has petitioned the OSP to investigate the case of the corrupt wealthy businessman who went to parliament a couple of weeks ago with bags of cash to bribe 95 NPP MPs who demanded the sacking of finance minister Ken Ofori Atta and his deputy Charles Adu-Boahen.

The OSP has quickly commenced investigations. Trust Occupy Ghana to literally hound the OSP to ensure this serious criminal conduct is not allowed to slide, that’s if there was any such sign.
