In a striking affirmation of recent accusations, Hon. Seth Ankrah, a prominent figure in Ghanaian politics, has lent his voice to the growing chorus of criticism against President Nana Akufo-Addo and Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia. Ankrah has echoed concerns that the Office of the Special Prosecutor, established to combat corruption, has become both useless and a waste of taxpayers’ money under their leadership.
Ankrah’s remarks come amidst heightened scrutiny of the effectiveness and independence of the Office of the Special Prosecutor. The institution, created with the noble aim of rooting out corruption and ensuring accountability, has faced mounting criticism for its perceived ineffectiveness and lack of autonomy.
“The Office of the Special Prosecutor was meant to be a beacon of hope in the fight against corruption, but sadly, it has been reduced to a mere shell under the current administration,” Ankrah lamented.
Ankrah pointed to alleged political interference and insufficient support as key factors contributing to the office’s ineffectiveness. He argued that without genuine independence and adequate resources, the Special Prosecutor is unable to carry out its mandate effectively, resulting in a squandering of taxpayers’ money.
“The people of Ghana deserve better,” Ankrah emphasized. “It is unacceptable that their hard-earned money is being wasted on an institution that has failed to deliver on its promise to hold the corrupt accountable.”
Ankrah’s affirmation of the allegations against President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Bawumia adds weight to calls for urgent reforms within the Office of the Special Prosecutor. As public dissatisfaction mounts, pressure is mounting on the government to address these concerns and restore confidence in the institution tasked with combating corruption in Ghana.
The remarks made by Hon. Seth Ankrah serve as a rallying cry for transparency, accountability, and genuine commitment to the fight against corruption. As the debate intensifies, stakeholders are calling for concrete action to ensure that the Office of the Special Prosecutor fulfills its crucial role in upholding the principles of good governance and accountability.
