We’ve asked AG to collaborate on cases but were turned down – OSP
The Director of Strategy, Research and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Samuel Appiah Darko, has claimed that the Attorney-General (AG) has declined several requests from the office to collaborate on cases.
In an interview on JoyNews’ Newsfile, Samuel Appiah Darko, Director of Strategy, Research and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), criticized the Attorney-General (AG) for refusing several collaboration requests from the OSP. Darko stated that the OSP has approached the AG multiple times for cooperation on various cases but was consistently denied.
He made these comments after raising concerns about a perceived lack of collaboration between the OSP and the AG's office, both of which are crucial to Ghana's criminal justice system and anti-corruption efforts. Darko maintained that while the OSP generally maintains a positive working relationship with the AG and other stakeholders, there have been instances where the OSP's requests for case-specific collaboration were rejected.
He explained that while many behind-the-scenes developments occur, the OSP does not feel it necessary or appropriate to disclose every interaction publicly. Darko noted that a comprehensive understanding of the OSP's performance and its relationships with other institutions must consider the unpublicized work and engagements as well.
