Special Prosecutor highlights OSP's financial recoveries and anti-corruption efforts
Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng presented the Office of the Special Prosecutor's OSP achievements, emphasizing financial recoveries, prosecutions, and loss prevention. At a press conference on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, Agyebeng stated that the OSP recovered GH垄8.5 million and US$2 million, and is pursuing other movable and immovable assets linked to corruption. As of December 31, 2025, the OSP was prosecuting 33 individuals, with 79 cases under full investigation and 161 undergoing preliminary inquiries. The office secured seven convictions through court-sanctioned plea bargains. Agyebeng noted that the OSP's mandate includes preventing financial losses and addressing systemic weaknesses that enable corruption, citing interventions in natural resources, seaports, and customs. He also mentioned the OSP's role in safeguarding the Tema Oil Refinery and its intervention in the government payroll system, which saved the state over GH垄100 million. Agyebeng asserted that the OSP has generated returns significantly higher than its invested resources, and its performance should be measured by investigations, prosecutions, asset recoveries, loss prevention, system corrections, and public funds saved, rather than political approval or social media reactions.
