Kissi Agyebeng, the State Prosecutor, has called for strong state institutions that are fit for fighting corruption.
He said the Office of the Special Prosecutor represented the best bet in fighting corruption-related issues in the country, and its independence must be ensured. "The office's independence must be fully assured, and its powers of mandate should be enlarged and enhanced to play its role effectively," he said.
Mr Agyebeng said this at the Constitution Day Lecture held in Accra on Friday, organised by the University of Professional Studies and One Ghana Movement.
It was on the theme: "A Few Good Men: Suppressing and Repressing Corruption and State Capture in Aid of Development." He called for the enactment of a Comprehensive Corrupt Practices Act to address all forms of corruption-related activities.
