Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng stated that a High Court ruling on April 15, 2026, nearly halted the work of the Office of the Special Prosecutor. The ruling declared certain sections of the OSP Act unconstitutional.
Mr Agyebeng explained that this decision created significant uncertainty for the OSP. It directly impacted the office's ability to conduct investigations and prosecute cases.
The High Court ruling specifically limited the prosecutorial powers granted to the OSP. This restriction brought the office's operations to a near standstill.
The Special Prosecutor did not specify which cases were affected. He indicated that the ruling's impact was widespread across the OSP's mandate.
The OSP is the government agency responsible for investigating and prosecuting corruption and other crimes.
Further details on the specific provisions of the OSP Act deemed unconstitutional were not immediately available.
