The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), has concluded investigations into allegations of corruption against a former Minister of State at the Ministry of Finance, Charles Adu Boahen; and three other high-profile suspected corruption cases.
These are among nine other cases the Office of the Special Prosecutor is investigating, while more than one hundred and fifty cases are at various levels of consideration.
In its half-yearly report dated June 30, the OSP concluded three other investigative cases, including an allegation of an attempt by a wealthy businessman to bribe some members of parliament on the majority side, who called for the resignation of the Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, to rescind their decision.
The OSP indicated that with the conclusion of investigations into the four cases, the Special Prosecutor would soon announce its next line of action.
The half-yearly report, signed by the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyabeng, is in fulfillment of section 3(3) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 [Act 959] which enjoins the OSP to publish the list of corruption cases it is investigating, prosecuting, as well as the number of acquittals, convictions, and assets recovered.
With regard to cases in Court, the report indicated that the OSP is currently prosecuting three cases which are at various levels of trial.
The report decried what it described as the absence of an established budget to fund its operations.
