Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as A Plus, has defended the Special Prosecutor’s request for armored vehicles, as outlined in a 2021 application seeking clearance for specific vehicles.
Recently, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), headed by Mr. Kissi Adjabeng, faced criticism online after a document addressed to the finance ministry, detailing the request for armored-plated vehicles and soft or light-body vehicles, surfaced.
The request, totaling GH₵29,952,000 for four types of armored-plated vehicles and 12 types of soft or light-body vehicles, has stirred backlash, with figures like Blakk Rasta expressing opposition, deeming it as outrageous and insensitive.
However, A Plus has argued that armored vehicles are a necessary requirement for the Special Prosecutor, who has faced multiple assassination attempts.
He also criticized what he sees as a recurring pattern of frustrating anti-corruption leaders by the current NPP-led administration, citing instances involving Charlotte Osei, Domelovo, Martin Amidu, Dr. Anyah, and Abdul Malik Kwaku Barko.
“You want to assassinate someone. You have made five attempts on his life this year alone, but you are angry he has requested bulletproof cars which is a requirement under the law that set up his office.
“Did the special prosecutor set up the OSP? Should I release the photos of all the attempts or you’ll shut up over there and allow the man to do his job? Like, he should avail himself for k!ln abi? I’m surprised he didn’t even request for bulletproof bulldozers. You have children but every day you want to k!l somebody. If you like, ask police to invite me for questioning. Like the things I’ll say ɛh! I’m calling your bluff!” he wrote in a long Facebook post.
“Me I no dey see any of you ooo, You people did same to Charlotte Osei, you did same to Domelovo, you did same to Martin Amidu, you did same to Dr Anyah, just to mention a few, and Abdul Malik Kwaku Barko ooo sɛ Kwaku One too,” he added.
