Member of Parliament for Effia, Isaac Boamah-Nyarko, has called for an urgent reassessment of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), claiming the institution has failed to prove its relevance since its inception.
Speaking on Channel One TV, the Effia MP criticised OSP head Kissi Agyebeng for not successfully prosecuting any major cases that deliver tangible benefits to Ghanaians.
“The Office of the Special Prosecutor has to be re-examined, and it has to be done as quickly as possible. The OSP is struggling to find relevance. All it is doing is struggling to find relevance.
“It has realised that over the years, it has not been able to prosecute any relevant case to the end that benefits the good people of Ghana. He comes up with stories, makes news, holds press conferences, proceeds to charge people, and at the end of the day, he has very little to show.”
Mr. Boamah-Nyarko further likened the Special Prosecutor to an “octopus” institution, suggesting that while the office pursues cases it deems corruption-related, the investigations lack clarity and public trust.
“The Special Prosecutor has become an octopus, struggling to find its feet wherever it encounters issues he thinks are corruption-related. Investigations are conducted, but nobody can understand the quality of the work done,” he added.
