Supreme Court has settled OSP’s prosecutorial mandate – Kissi Agyebeng

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, August 26, Mr Agyebeng said the Supreme Court, in a unanimous 7-0 decision, upheld the constitutional basis of the OSP’s prosecutorial mandate under the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (Act 959), as well as its governing legislative instruments.

Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng says the Supreme Court’s July 29 decision affirming the constitutionality of the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s prosecutorial powers has settled a major legal battle over the mandate and future of the anti-corruption institution.

According to him, the High Court decision invalidated prosecutions conducted by the OSP and nullified convictions and assets secured by the Office.
