The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) says as the foremost anti-corruption enforcement body, it “remains Ghana’s best instrument in the fight against corruption” and is committed to fulfilling that responsibility with “integrity, resolve, and innovation.”
This was contained in the OSP’s Half-Yearly Report covering January to June 2025, which outlined the Office’s progress, successes, and plans for the year.
According to the report, the Office is now firmly embedded within Ghana’s anti-corruption architecture as the foremost independent institution, actively pursuing its mandate with increased momentum. It stated that it is undertaking multiple investigations, filing more cases before the courts, recovering and confiscating tainted assets, and “aggressively working to make corruption a high-risk and costly enterprise.”
The OSP noted that it recorded notable successes during the review period, including convictions, the recovery of assets, and restitution to the Republic.
To strengthen its operations, the Office revealed that it is investing in forensic and interrogation capabilities to build the technological capacity required to tackle increasingly complex corruption cases.
The report further highlighted the OSP’s deepening of international cooperation, noting that it continues to receive support and is working on parallel investigations with foreign counterparts.
Looking ahead, the OSP said it intends to conclude and file more cases in the second half of the year, while consolidating its institutional foundations and operational independence.
