Akwatia Member of Parliament Bernard Baidoo has urged the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the Attorney-General to work together in the fight against corruption, warning that a lack of unity between the two institutions could hinder Ghana's efforts to hold people accountable. Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile, Baidoo expressed concern that disputes between key anti-corruption bodies might undermine the OSP's credibility and effectiveness.
Baidoo emphasized that the OSP's establishment has garnered bipartisan support, but the current Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, is not the first to hold the position. He urged the Attorney-General to view the OSP as a partner rather than an adversary, stressing that corruption is the true enemy. Baidoo highlighted the importance of focusing on tangible results rather than institutional rivalry, stating that public confidence in the anti-corruption agencies depends on their ability to deliver results.
