Special prosecutor calls for establishment of corruption courts.

Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng is calling for the establishment of anti-corruption courts to prosecute persons suspected to have engaged in corruption and corruption-related cases if the country is serious about fighting the menace.

Speaking at a 2023 Corruption Perception Index roundtable discussion, the Special Prosecutor expressed disappointment in Ghana’s corruption score of 43, which has remained unchanged since 2020.

“The conversation is becoming sterile. The fight against corruption is proving to be an unruly bread indeed and the fight against corruption is not lending herself to agreeable investigation and cohabitation and we are not recording much success, our progress is hampered and we’re unable to move the needle appreciably to improve our scorecard,” he said.

Ghana scored 43 out of a clean score of 100 and ranked 70th out of 180 countries and territories included in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) 2023, released today, January 30, 2024 by Transparency International (TI).
