Through his lawyers, Dr. Agyemang stated he performed his duties with “utmost diligence” during his tenure and denied any wrongdoing in connection with scholarship awards under the previous administration. These comments follow recent public statements by Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, Sabah Zita Benson, regarding the controversy.
In a statement, Dr. Agyemang's lawyers accused the High Commissioner of making “false and misleading” claims about their client. They described her decision to discuss the matter publicly while investigations are ongoing as “regrettable and unwarranted.”
Investigations into the allegations have already been initiated by state security and investigative agencies. The lawyers questioned why the High Commissioner would continue to comment publicly on the matter instead of allowing the relevant institutions to complete their work.
They also noted that this is not the first occasion on which the High Commissioner has made allegations against Dr. Agyemang while investigations remain pending.
The former Registrar has maintained that he has nothing to hide and has made himself available to the state agencies conducting the investigations. His lawyers affirmed that he has “fully cooperated” with investigators to ensure the allegations are properly examined and that he remains committed to the rule of law and due process.
Dr. Agyemang remains confident that the investigations will establish the facts and that the process will eventually vindicate him.
