Full Text: If basis of collapsing public agency is that it committed mistakes, then every public agency should be shut down - OSP

Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng has stated that while his office, the OSP, has made mistakes, it does not warrant its dissolution. He argues that if the basis for shutting down a public agency is its mistakes, then all public institutions in Ghana should be shut down. Agyebeng acknowledges the OSP's imperfections but emphasizes that these mistakes are common and do not warrant the attacks against the office.

He highlights that the OSP's prosecutorial functions and independent investigation powers make it a target for some public officers who prefer other individuals in those roles. Despite the attacks, the OSP remains committed to fighting corruption and will continue to operate effectively.
