A Supreme Court decision has preserved the Office of the Special Prosecutor. This ruling also confirms the constitutional powers of the Attorney-General.
Kwesi Forkuor-Benyin, who is part of the New Patriotic Party's Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee, shared this view.
He explained that the court's decision supports the anti-corruption institution.
At the same time, it reaffirms the Attorney-General's authority as granted by the constitution.
Forkuor-Benyin spoke about the ruling on the Asaase Breakfast Show.
The OSP was established to fight corruption in Ghana.
The Attorney-General has the power to initiate and discontinue criminal proceedings.
This ruling clarifies the relationship between these two important offices.
