The recent investigations by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) into alleged corruption involving former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta mark a commendable step by Ghana's new government.

By declaring Ofori-Atta a suspect in high-profile cases, including the National Cathedral project and the Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML) scandal, the OSP has sent a strong message: no one is above the law.

However, this is just the beginning.

To truly combat corruption, the Mahama administration must strengthen anti-corruption institutions, ensure impartial investigations, and hold all offenders accountable, regardless of political affiliation.
