OSP urges Ghanaians to back the fight against corruption; says ‘it’s a shared responsibility’

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has issued a clarion call to all Ghanaians to support the fight against corruption.

In a statement to commemorate International Anti-Corruption Day, the OSP commended its whistleblowers and entreated all Ghanaians to emulate their actions. 

“We commend our confidential sources and whistleblowers for their valuable contribution to the work of the OSP. We encourage citizens and residents to join us in the fight against corruption.

“We are reminded of the essence and utility of eradicating the menace of corruption in aid of building our country on fairness, justice, and transparency. Let us envision a future where every citizen and resident lives with the legitimate expectation that integrity will triumph over deceit and the rule of law will prevail. The fight against corruption is a shared responsibility, and together we can build a prosperous Ghana,” the OSP shared.

Annually observed on December 9th, International Anti-Corruption Day commemorates the passage of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption on October 31, 2003. The day serves to enhance public awareness and commitment to anti-corruption initiatives.

In its statement, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) reaffirmed its dedication to combating corruption in the country.

“As we commemorate International Anti-Corruption Day and the anniversary of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), the Office of the Special Prosecutor reaffirms its commitment to the fight against corruption in all its forms.

“Our vision is clear – to render corruption costly and unattractive, and we remain resolute in fulfilling this mandate. We will strengthen our collaboration with other law enforcement agencies and international partners to robustly build skill and expertise to suppress and repress corruption notwithstanding the formidable odds and barriers in this quest,” the OSP stated.
