According to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), what is generally successful in tackling corruption is preventing corrupt people from functioning with impunity.
The OSP further stated that persons must recognize the likelihood of arrest, inquiry, and conviction if they engage in corruption.
In a statement issued to commemorate World Anti-Corruption Day on Saturday, December 9, the OSP stated that when the corrupt are no longer guaranteed the anchor of impunity, then may “we confidently assert that Ghana is firmly on the path of combating corruption.”
The Office of the Special Prosecutor underlined its commitment to combating corruption in all of its manifestations
“Our vision is clear—to render corruption costly and unattractive, and we remain resolute in fulfilling this mandate. We will strengthen our collaboration with other law enforcement agencies and international partners to robustly build skill and expertise to suppress and repress corruption notwithstanding the formidable odds and barriers in this quest.
“We commend our confidential sources and whistleblowers for their valuable contribution to the work of the OSP. We encourage citizens and residents to join us in the fight against corruption.
“We are reminded of the essence and utility of eradicating the menace of corruption in aid of building our country on fairness, justice, and transparency. Let us envision a future where every citizen and resident lives with the legitimate expectation that integrity will triumph over deceit and the rule of law will prevail. The fight against corruption is a shared responsibility, and together we can build a prosperous Ghana.”
