A private legal practitioner, Julius Opoku Agyei, says it is important for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to publish its findings twice a year.

Speaking on JoyNews’ The Law, the private legal practitioner said it is to help the populace to follow what the office is doing to combat corruption in the country.

“The OSP has to publish its works twice a year [every six months]. On its website and in two daily newspapers of a national reach", he said.

Explaining why the demand for periodic publication of its work is peculiar to the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Opoku Agyei said it is informed by the history of cases started by law enforcement agencies which are not heard about subsequently, as well as the need for transparency in prosecutions.

“When you publish, the public will then follow what you are doing. So you cannot receive complaints and initiate investigations yourself and all of a sudden, the investigations dissipate. The complaints disappear,” he said on Sunday.

In his view, “If it is public, we [citizenry] know what you’re doing so the whole world is following you so it puts you on your toes to ensure that the right things are done.”

Mr Opoku Agyei decried the numerous investigations which were initiated by law enforcement agencies but “ended nowhere.”

“Until or unless somebody goes for information or you go to court yourself or write letters to find out what is happening, nobody knows what is happening," he told host Samson Lardy Anyenini.

He opined that this situation often happens when the case involves a very powerful individual in the country.

“The whole world must know whether you are working or you are not working, whether you are efficient or not.”
