OSP Returns to Court with New Wave of High-Profile Corruption Cases

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially returned to court as Ghana’s legal year begins, unveiling a fresh round of corruption and corruption-related cases. This renewed legal action underscores the OSP’s commitment to intensifying the fight against graft and promoting transparency in public office.

In a public statement, the OSP confirmed that several new cases are being prepared and will be filed in the final quarter of 2025. This move comes after a year of consistent legal activity, during which seven individuals were convicted through plea bargains. The convictions highlight the OSP’s growing impact in curbing corruption in Ghana.

Among the notable individuals currently facing legal action are former NPA boss Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, former PPA boss Adjenim Boateng Adjei, and Charles Bissue, a former presidential staffer. These cases have attracted significant public attention, given the high-profile positions of those involved.

The OSP’s intensified legal efforts are part of a broader strategy to ensure that individuals implicated in corruption are held accountable, regardless of their political or social status. Legal analysts believe that this new wave of prosecutions will strengthen public confidence in the justice system and send a strong message to those engaged in corrupt activities.

Ghana’s fight against corruption has long been a priority for both government institutions and civil society organizations. The OSP’s latest actions reflect a growing determination to tackle financial misconduct and uphold the rule of law.
