Asiedu Nketia calls for scrapping of Special Prosecutor’s Office

NDC Chairman Asiedu Nketia has called for the abolition of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), arguing that it is ineffective in fighting corruption.

Speaking on Radio Gold, he suggested replacing it with an independent, career Attorney General with full prosecutorial powers.

According to him, the current structure, where the Attorney General is also a minister, prevents unbiased prosecution of government officials.

He revealed that he had advised former President Akufo-Addo against establishing the OSP, predicting it would become a "toothless bulldog."

Nketia emphasized that the NDC intends to amend the Constitution to ensure accountability, enabling legal action against both government and opposition figures involved in corruption-related offenses.
