Former Tamale Central MP, Inusah Fuseini, is urging the Majority Caucus in Parliament to slow down on its move to abolish the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), warning that such a decision would be premature.<\/p>\n

The call follows renewed efforts by the Majority, led by its Leader, Mahama Ayariga, to wind down the OSP and revert all corruption-related prosecutions to the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice. Addressing Parliament on Thursday, December 4, Mr Ayariga questioned the OSP\u2019s efficiency.<\/p>\n

The Bawku Central legislator argued that despite receiving more resources than the Attorney-General\u2019s Department, the office has not delivered on its mandate.<\/p>\n

He proposed that the OSP be dissolved, whether through a private member\u2019s bill or an amendment introduced by the Executive.<\/p>\n

But responding to the development in an interview with Citi FM, Inusah Fuseini maintained that Ghana\u2019s anti-corruption fight is far from won, making it unwise to scrap a dedicated institution created to strengthen accountability.<\/p>\n

He argued that the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, should be given more time and support to prove the full potential of the office.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing shows that we should dismantle the anti-corruption agency. We have not succeeded in fighting corruption \u2014 have we? If that were the case, then yes, the OSP would be redundant,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we are still pursuing people alleged to have engaged in corruption. Nothing has changed fundamentally, and the OSP is doing what it can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
