Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jennifer Queen, has questioned the relevance of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) following a recent court ruling affecting its prosecutorial powers.
Speaking on Accra-based UTV, she reacted to a High Court decision that reportedly removes the prosecutorial authority of the OSP and reassigns it to the Attorney-General’s Department.
According to her, the OSP has not delivered meaningful benefits to Ghanaians despite the resources allocated to it by the state.
She argued that maintaining the office without tangible outcomes amounts to an unnecessary financial burden on the country.
Jennifer Queen therefore welcomed the court’s decision, stating that the shift in prosecutorial authority is appropriate under the circumstances.
She maintained that state institutions must demonstrate value and effectiveness, especially when they are funded with public resources.
