Amidu, also a former Attorney-General, lodged the petition against Agyebeng, citing procurement breaches in the purchase of vehicles for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and misconduct involving judges and the administration of justice.
The petition also includes allegations of violations of citizens’ rights through arrests and detentions, breaches of the right to information, and improper appointments of personnel to the office.
Furthermore, Amidu contends that Agyebeng violated the right to information by refusing to provide appointment letters and salary details of all OSP staff on a pen drive as requested.
