During discussions on the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values, 2021, Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, expressed his skepticism about the effectiveness of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), referring to its creation as an “act in futility.”

Bagbin, while addressing fellow parliamentarians, emphasized his belief that the OSP would not yield tangible results in the ongoing battle against corruption.

He maintained that the Attorney General’s department should be decoupled from the Ministry of Justice for more effective governance.

In his words, Bagbin stated, “As for the law you passed on the establishment of the Office of the Special Prosecutor, I did tell you that it was an act in futility, you were not going to achieve anything but you went ahead and passed it.”
