Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has questioned the collective will of Ghanaians to fight corruption.
Asking some rhetorical questions during a presentation on Newsfile, the Special Prosecutor shared his doubt about the commitment of Ghanaians to fighting graft.
“Are we ready for the fight against corruption? From where I sit, I don’t think we are.”
“We expect so much from the institutions fighting corruption, but collectively, are we ready?” the Special Prosecutor is quoted in a report by Myjoyonline.com.
According to Mr Agyebeng, he is compelled to ask the question because a lot of Ghanaians who are witnesses to corruption fail to report it.
“A good measure of the reason why I say we are not ready yet, is that more than 60% of persons fear retaliation if they report corruption. And it is very dire. Even law enforcement agencies, even the Office of the Special Prosecutor, even the Special Prosecutor himself is not spared this special of retaliation,” he stated.
However, Mr Agyebeng noted that there is still the possibility for the country to bring corruption to a bearable minimum

How can he fight corruption when he has not been paid for several months. The people who appointed him are the most corrupt people. Akuffo and his corrupt army. No wonder why Martin Amidu resigned and called the President the mother serpent of corruption. They used Agyapa to steal from us. They pretend to be fighting corruption. Now their own person in the name of Kissi Agyebeng is saying the same thing Martin Amidu was complaining of. All you guys criticizing him are hypocrites. See how NPP have milked this country. The auditor general’s report has all the facts but no prosecution. Criminals in power
I cry for my country Ghana, how can you appoint a corrupt person to fight corruption? Kisi Agyaben is among the most corrupt guys in Ghana, Ghanaians should ask Anas how he acquired numerous properties in Ghana? How much is his income and how much tax is he paying to the state Ghana? Kisi Agyaben knew the way Anas use to Rob people through entrapments, destroy many homes and Kisi Agyaben is Anas lawyer. Judgement day is ahead of everyone under the sun
