Sedina Tamakloe Acquittal: Prof Gyampo says corruption fight cannot survive prosecutorial incompetence

Political scientist Professor Ransford Gyampo has warned that Ghana’s fight against corruption risks being undermined unless prosecutions are backed by strong evidence and handled by competent prosecutors, following a recent Court of Appeal judgment.“But more importantly, let our AG ensure competent, watertight and evidence-based prosecutions that secure proper convictions that can only be overturned through pardon and the exercise of the prerogative of mercy by the President,” he said.” His comments come at a time when public expectations of the government’s anti-corruption agenda remain high.
