OSP’s review of extortion allegation should not take more than a day – Edem Senanu
Anti-corruption campaigner Edem Senanu says the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) should not take more than a day to determine whether an extortion allegation involving the Minority Leader falls within its statutory mandate.
Anti-corruption advocate Edem Senanu has expressed that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) should swiftly determine within a day if an extortion allegation against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, falls within its jurisdiction. This statement comes after the OSP decided to investigate allegations of extortion and related actions brought forth by Chief Executive of Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, against the Minority Leader.
During an appearance on JoyNews' The Pulse on Monday, August 24, Senanu emphasized that the OSP's preliminary assessment should be expedited, stating that they should provide their decision by the following day, Tuesday, or at the latest on Wednesday. Senanu's call for a prompt response comes amidst months of limited public engagement from the OSP amid legal challenges affecting the office.
He urged the OSP to clarify the matter promptly to avert ongoing uncertainty surrounding the allegation.
