The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has recorded its first convictions since its creation in 2018 under the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959).
After years of criticism for failing to deliver results, despite receiving over GH¢1 billion in budget allocations since inception, the OSP has now secured seven convictions.
All were obtained through plea bargains.
The office was allocated GH¢146 million in the 2025 budget, but it remains early in the year, and it is unclear whether that amount will be fully disbursed.
