Minister in charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has dismissed claims that the Presidency fabricated petitions calling for the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng and Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson Jean Mensa.

His remarks follow the submission of ten separate petitions by private citizens to the Office of the President seeking the removal of the Special Prosecutor, the EC Chair, and her deputies, Dr. Eric Bossman Asare and Samuel Tettey. The petitions allege misconduct, incompetence, abuse of office, and concerns over electoral administration.

Some reports suggested that the petitions were coordinated from within the Presidency, an allegation Kwakye Ofosu rejected outright.

Speaking on Eyewitness News with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Monday, 1 December 2025, he challenged critics to provide evidence to support their claims.

“The critics would have to show evidence of the cooking and the eating [fabrication], wouldn’t they?” he said.

He stressed that the government has no involvement with the petitioners and that any investigative committee formed will act independently.

“There’s no basis for manipulation; there’s no room for manoeuvring or any form of manipulation from the executive whatsoever. The committee will be formed by the Chief Justice, Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, and not the President [John Dramani Mahama],” he said.

Kwakye Ofosu confirmed that all petitions have been forwarded to the Chief Justice for action in accordance with constitutional procedures.
