The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has assured the public that it is actively pursuing several corruption-related cases as Ghana’s courts resume sitting after their annual vacation. The agency says more prosecutions are expected before the end of 2025.
The announcement, made in a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, October 19, 2025, comes as the judiciary reopens, allowing the continuation of several high-profile cases that have gripped national attention.
According to the OSP, it is currently handling multiple cases on behalf of the public, with additional prosecutions planned for the last quarter of the year.
“With the courts resuming from vacation, these are the cases the OSP is actively prosecuting on your behalf, with more cases to be filed in the last quarter of the year. Earlier this year, seven individuals were convicted through plea bargains,” the agency stated.
The statement highlighted that seven individuals had already been convicted earlier this year through plea bargains, describing the outcome as proof of “steady progress” in its mission to investigate and prosecute corruption and corruption-related offenses.
The OSP is currently handling a number of cases involving individuals and entities implicated in acts of financial misconduct across both public and private institutions.
One of the notable cases involves the former National Petroleum Authority (NPA) boss, Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, and nine others.
“The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has today amended the charges against the accused persons in the Republic v. Mustapha Abdul-Hamid & 9 Others case—increasing the counts from 25 to 54 following the discovery of new evidence from ongoing investigations. The case is being heard this morning in court,” the statement added.
The OSP reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing justice and holding accountable those involved in corruption, signaling a busy final quarter of 2025 for anti-corruption prosecutions.
