As Ghana’s legal year resumes, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has confirmed it is actively prosecuting several corruption-related cases, with additional filings expected before the end of 2025.
The announcement was made in a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, October 19, 2025, as courts reopen following their annual judicial recess. The OSP emphasized that its ongoing prosecutions reflect its commitment to tackling corruption on behalf of the Ghanaian public.
“With the courts resuming from vacation, these are the cases the OSP is actively prosecuting on your behalf, with more cases to be filed in the last quarter of the year,” the statement said.
The agency also revealed that seven individuals have been convicted earlier this year through plea bargains—a development the OSP described as evidence of “steady progress” in its efforts to hold corrupt actors accountable.
In its update, the OSP noted that it is currently handling multiple cases involving individuals and institutions alleged to be involved in financial misconduct across both public and private sectors.
The agency reaffirmed its mandate to investigate and prosecute corruption and corruption-related offences and indicated that more high-profile cases could soon make their way to court as part of a broader crackdown.
