Private legal practitioner, Thaddeus Sory, has taken a swipe at the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, describing his recent conduct as “roguish” and “hypocritical”.
According to Mr. Sory, the Special Prosecutor’s handling of the recent entry into the residence of a former Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta has been “unprofessional” and “unjust”.
“…who made the SP the judge of their official duties? What authority does he have to determine whether other state officials are acting lawfully or unlawfully?” Mr. Sory questioned in a social media post.
He also criticized the Special Prosecutor’s apology to the former Minister, describing it as “needless” and “hypocritical”.
“Why apologize when you were not responsible for the entry? Did the Minister accuse you? Or was this fear? Or an attempt to court his friendship while publicly pretending to be searching for him?” Mr. Sory asked.
Mr. Sory also expressed disappointment in Parliament’s intervention in the matter, stating that they should have asked for an explanation rather than offering an unsolicited apology.
“If Parliament felt it necessary to intervene, the logical step was to ask for an explanation—not to offer an unsolicited apology,” he said.
He emphasized the importance of upholding the principle of hearing both sides before making judgments.
“The rule is Audi alteram partem. That is our law. Even the Almighty God applied it. So ye saints, you cannot be false to the rule,” Mr. Sory stated.
