A prominent labor leader has harshly criticized Ghana's anti-corruption watchdog for what he described as sluggish and ineffective prosecution of major graft cases. Abraham Koomson, who heads the Ghana Federation of Labour, accused Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng of deliberately stalling investigations involving former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and other high-profile matters during a radio interview on Saturday, November 8, 2025.

Koomson pointed to delayed probes concerning SML and the National Cathedral as evidence that the agency lacks urgency in holding officials accountable. He called the Ofori-Atta case a critical measure of whether Ghana's anti-corruption framework functions effectively, suggesting prosecutors should pursue charges even without the former minister's cooperation.

The federation secretary general urged President John Dramani Mahama to evaluate the prosecutor's performance and potentially replace leadership if results do not improve, emphasizing that citizens demand concrete action rather than empty promises against those who misuse public resources.
