The Special Prosecutor should order some sense, I will pay for it.” – NPP COM (Benghazi)

Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah, a member of the NPP Communications Team popularly known as Benghazi, made a controversial statement in which he joked about “hiding” former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

In a seemingly sarcastic tone, he suggested that if the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) brings forward Sedinam Tamakloe, a former government official, then the NPP would be willing to “exchange” her for Ofori-Atta.

He went further to mock the Office of the Special Prosecutor, saying that the Special Prosecutor should “order some sense” and offering to “pay for it,” implying a lack of seriousness or competence in handling corruption matters.

His comments appear to downplay the seriousness of accountability and investigations involving former public officials. Critics argue that such remarks trivialize the work of anti-corruption institutions and risk undermining public trust in efforts to bring transparency and justice to the political system. The remarks have since stirred public reaction and debate.
