A member of the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) committee, Martin Kpebu, has strongly advocated for urgent reforms to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) law, arguing that its current structure is flawed and ineffective.
In an interview on Citi FM on Monday, February 10, following the submission of the ORAL report to President John Mahama, Kpebu highlighted systemic defects in the law that, in his view, hinder the OSP's effectiveness in tackling corruption.
Per its mandate, the OSP is responsible for investigating and prosecuting corruption-related offences, recovering unlawfully acquired assets, and implementing anti-corruption measures.
However, Kpebu believes the law grants excessive power to the Special Prosecutor, limiting transparency and accountability in decision-making. "I always say that, you know how I don't hesitate to criticize JM if he has done something that is not good.
