Secretary General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Abraham Koomson

Secretary General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Abraham Koomson, has urged the government to assess the trust and loyalty of the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng.

While acknowledging the OSP’s independence, Koomson raised concerns about potential bias in favour of members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Speaking on Ahotor FM on Saturday, June 21, 2025, he warned that such partiality could compromise the objectivity of corruption investigations.

“Even though Kissi Agyebeng is independent-minded, his trust and loyalty must be assessed,” Koomson said.

Amid calls for the dismissal of the Special Prosecutor, the labour leader instead recommended his reassignment to ensure public confidence in ongoing investigations under the Office of Recovery of Assets and Loot (ORAL), an initiative spearheaded by President John Dramani Mahama.

“I have no personal issues with the Special Prosecutor. But loyalty is crucial, and I believe the government should find alternative ways to handle ORAL cases without involving the OSP,” he added.

Abraham Koomson further proposed the establishment of specialised courts to expedite the adjudication of ORAL cases.

He cautioned that relying solely on the traditional judicial system could delay justice and dilute the effectiveness of the President’s anti-corruption drive.

Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) is a flagship anti-corruption initiative launched by President John Dramani Mahama.

ORAL aims to investigate corruption cases, retrieve stolen resources, and prosecute offenders.

It is designed to restore public trust and ensure accountability in governance.
