Berko-AKSA Bribery Deal: Amidu takes on Kissi Agyebeng, makes fresh claims

Former Attorney General, Martin Amidu, is demanding answers from the Office of the Special Prosecutor over the status of its investigation into the Asante Kwaku Berko-AKSA Ghana bribery case, which he says began in April 2020.

Amidu said the OSP should be able to account for the actions it has taken on the case over the past six years, particularly because the Special Prosecutor has said the office collaborated with US authorities in the investigation that led to Berko’s conviction.

“I have stated in a previous article that the OSP started investigations into the Asante Kwaku Berko-AKSA-Ghana Bribery deal in April 2020,” Amidu said in an open letter.

He said records within the OSP, including the Station Diary and Diary of Action of the investigation docket, should show what work has been done on the matter since then.

According to Amidu, there should also be a continuing case docket if the OSP was indeed working with the US Federal Bureau of Investigation on the case.

“Kissi Agyebeng, the protected Special Prosecutor whose new mentor is President Mahama, stated at the media conference on 26 August 2026 that the OSP collaborated with the US in the investigation leading to the conviction of Asante Kwaku Berko in the US,” he said.

He further raised questions on why the issues appears to target Dr Kwabena Donkor, the former Power Minister.

“The US Court Records show that the bribery deal moved from conspiracy to consummation with transfers of huge funds to Ghana between January 2016 and December 2016 when Dr Kwabena Donkor’s appointment had been terminated by the then President Mahama,” Amidu said in an open letter.

He said the timeline should raise questions about what happened at the Ministry of Power after Donkor’s departure.

“President Mahama and the protected Kissi Agyebeng should tell the public whether the Ministry of Power was under autopilot between January 2016 and 7 January 2017 without any responsible Minister?” he asked.
