The Majority in Parliament is urging the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) not to waver in its commitment to combat corruption.

Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng expressed serious concerns about the growing trend of dismissive rulings in corruption cases during a press briefing on November 29.

He cautioned that such trends could have severe consequences for the country's anti-corruption endeavours.

Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin's recent statement emphasised the futility of the law establishing the OSP during parliamentary proceedings on Tuesday.

But, the Deputy Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has called on the Special Prosecutor not to relent in his duties.

During a debate leading up to the approval of a GHS149 million budget for the services of the OSP for the year 2024, Afenyo-Markin emphasised the need to support the Special Prosecutor.

He stated, "We need to support the Special Prosecutor.

"This is the first time a government has boldly walked a political talk from the manifesto into bringing an enactment to give it the life that it needs. Let’s encourage the Special Prosecutor to do his work.

"And Mr Speaker, as a practitioner in our courts…I would want to encourage the Special Prosecutor never to give up.

"I would want to encourage the office to strengthen itself with the limited resources that it gets, move through the court system, and get the court to appreciate its work."
