Dr Dickson Adomako Kissi Accuses Presidency of Orchestrating Calls for Removal of Special Prosecutor, EC Leadership
Former Member of Parliament for Anyaa Sowutuom, Dr Dickson Adomako Kissi, has launched a sharp critique of the Presidency, alleging that 10 petitions calling for the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng and the Electoral Commission (EC) leadership were orchestrated by the executive arm of government.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Tuesday, Dr Adomako Kissi claimed the petitions were part of a deliberate agenda by the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“I must commend the NDC for keeping to their word; they are doing exactly as they promised: that when they come, they will remove the EC,” he remarked, his tone laced with sarcasm.

He described the petition process as “clockwork”, implying it was both predictable and deliberately activated. Dr Adomako Kissi also directly criticised Minister for Government Communications Felix Kwakye Ofosu, accusing him of misleading the public about the source of the petitions.
“I have every right to tell Felix that he did well lying to Ghanaians that the Executive has nothing to do with the petition,” he stated.
The former MP’s assertions sharply contrast with the official stance of the government. Kwakye Ofosu has consistently maintained that neither President John Mahama nor the Presidency had any role in initiating or influencing the petitions, describing such claims as politically motivated.
The Office of the President has confirmed receiving 10 separate petitions seeking the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng, EC Chairperson Jean Mensa, and her two deputies. The petitions, submitted by private citizens, allege various forms of misconduct. Special Prosecutor Agyebeng is specifically cited for alleged incompetence and abuse of office.
All petitions have been forwarded to the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, who is expected to determine whether a prima facie case exists to warrant further proceedings.
