The Judicial Service of Ghana and the Office of the Special Prosecutor have officially committed to suppressing corruption through collaborative enforcement of the law and the provision of fair hearing to all stakeholders in the criminal justice system.
This follows concerns raised by Ghana’s Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyabeng over rulings made with regard to suspected corruption and corruption-related cases being investigated.
According to Kissi Agyebeng, the court is exhibiting some disregard for his office's powers with what he sees as hasty dismissiveness of its cases.
He argued that judges prohibiting the successful prosecution of politically exposed cases also spells doom for the country.
But following an engagement with various stakeholders, including the Ghana Bar Association, the two institutions underscored the important roles of the Judiciary and the OSP in combating corruption and corruption-related activities.
