The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has paid a courtesy visit to the Commissioner of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Dr. Joseph Akanjolenur Whittal, to bolster inter-agency collaboration in Ghana's ongoing fight against corruption.
During a meeting held on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Mr. Agyebeng emphasised the urgent need for enhanced coordination between the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and CHRAJ.
He warned that fragmented efforts and limited cooperation among key anti-corruption bodies leave critical gaps that corrupt individuals can exploit to evade accountability.
“A unified and deliberate partnership is the only way to close these loopholes and send a strong message that impunity will no longer be tolerated,” Mr. Agyebeng stated.

He lauded CHRAJ for its leadership in promoting human rights, administrative justice, and anti-corruption efforts, and acknowledged the Commission’s contributions—particularly its referrals of high-profile cases involving the former head of the Public Procurement Authority and the National Cathedral project.
Mr. Agyebeng also revealed that the OSP plans to expand its regional presence, beginning with offices in Kumasi, Takoradi, and Tamale.
He noted that CHRAJ’s nationwide footprint positions it as an essential partner in extending the impact of anti-corruption enforcement.
Dr. Whittal welcomed the Special Prosecutor’s visit, describing it as a timely opportunity to strengthen institutional collaboration.
He expressed support for the development of a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to guide joint efforts and reiterated CHRAJ’s commitment to advancing the objectives of the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP).
The meeting concluded with both parties reaffirming their shared commitment to closing operational gaps, enhancing cooperation, and ensuring no corrupt actor escapes scrutiny due to institutional blind spots.
Mr. Agyebeng was accompanied by Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko, Director of Strategy, Research, and Communication at the OSP. Dr. Whittal was joined by Deputy Commissioners Mercy Larbi and Benjamin Barfo-Bonney, along with other senior officials of the Commission.
