The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has dismissed claims by the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers' Authority, Dr Ransford Gyampo, suggesting that the ongoing investigation into former Finance Minister, Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta, is driven by personal animosity.
In a statement published on Facebook on June 22, the OSP expressed concern over Dr Gyampo's comments, which it characterised as misleading and potentially harmful to the integrity of its operations.
The Office stressed that its inquiry into Mr Ofori-Atta centres on "stated allegations of corruption and corruption-related offences", particularly the alleged abuse of office for personal gain.
Of specific concern is the multi-year contract awarded to Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML), a matter that has been under scrutiny.
