The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has said that corruption knows no borders. and it is also not tied to specific persons, race, colour or continent.
However, what universally proves effective is the prevention of the corrupt from operating with impunity, the OSP said.
What works is ensuring that individuals understand the inevitability of arrest, investigation, and prosecution if they engage in corruption.
In a statement to mark the World Anti-Corruption Day on Saturday, December 9, the OSP said that when the corrupt is no longer assured the anchor of impunity, then may “we confidently assert that Ghana is firmly on the path of combating corruption.”
The Office of the Special Prosecutor reaffirmed 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.
“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.”
