OSP’s swift response to extortion allegation doesn’t mean selective investigations – Senanu

“It's not about picking and choosing,” Mr Senanu said, explaining that the Aksa Energy case was a collaborative international investigation that had reportedly lasted several years before becoming public.

Anti-corruption campaigner Edem Senanu has defended the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) swift response to an alleged extortion case made by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, arguing that the speed of its reaction does not suggest the anti-corruption agency is selective in deciding which matters to investigate.

On the extortion allegation, Mr Senanu said the matter is local and has been brought to the attention of the OSP, making it reasonable for the office to indicate that it is assessing whether it can investigate.
