The 2026 Main Budget Document settles the debate with facts, not flawed opinions. It confirms that the Office of the Special Prosecutor carried out 10 investigations, completed 2 prosecutions, and issued 9 directives and guidelines within the year. These measurable outputs, officially recorded by the Ministry of Finance, show the OSP’s continued work across investigations, prosecutions, and anti-corruption regulation.
The 2026 budget allocates GH¢158,936,458 to the OSP, including GH¢78,026,107 for compensation, GH¢60,910,351 for goods and services, and GH¢20,000,000 for CAPEX. This proves that the OSP is an essential part of Ghana’s public safety and justice framework, fully recognised and funded by the State. Claims that the OSP is “useless,” “has done nothing,” “has no convictions,” or “must be scrapped” collapse under the weight of documented evidence. The institution continues to deliver its mandate, and its work is formally acknowledged in the national budget.
It is always amusing how the loudest critics and disinformation campaigners have never read a single page of the Budget, visited the OSP website, checked their half-yearly reports, or reviewed published directives. The facts are clear: investigations, prosecutions, directives, and a full-year allocation to strengthen their work. For some, the issue is not performance but the fear of accountability and a full-throated support for corruption.
Every year, the OSP works. Every year, the Budget captures the outputs. And every year, the same armchair “experts” rise to shout: “scrap it.”
Dear keyboard warriors and keyboard prosecutors, if facts were data bundles, half of you would have been offline long ago.
