Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga has urged Parliament to abolish the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and instead empower the Attorney-General’s Office as the sole body responsible for investigating and prosecuting corruption cases in Ghana. Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday, December 4, Mr. Ayariga questioned the rationale behind underfunding the Attorney-General’s Office while allocating significant resources to the OSP, which he claimed has fallen short of public expectations. “Look at the budget—why are we not adequately resourcing the Attorney-General? Even after allocating more funding to the OSP than to the Attorney-General, the office is still not delivering results,” he stated. “I strongly believe the OSP should be abolished, whether through a private member’s bill as advised by former Speaker Prof. Mike Oquaye, or by urging the Executive to present a bill for this House to consider and pass.” He stressed that dissolving the OSP would not hinder efforts to hold corrupt i...

  President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated his commitment to what he describes as Ghana’s enduring family and moral values, asserting that gender is determined at birth and that the family remains the bedrock of the nation.

   Bureau of Public Safety (BPS) is urging the government to subject Ghana’s presidential aircraft to an independent safety assessment before it returns to active duty, insisting that only a transparent, third-party review can guarantee public confidence in the jet’s airworthiness. The call comes after the Falcon 900EX presidential jet returned to Ghana following nearly eight months at the Dassault Falcon Service facility in Paris. The aircraft reportedly underwent its routine 24 month maintenance cycle, clocking a 1,600-hour inspection, detailed diagnostics, and manufacturer-led repairs after the discovery of several defects. Speaking  on Sunday, November 16, BPS Executive Secretary Nana Yaw Akwada said the jet’s return should be welcomed, but cautioned that declarations of its safety must be backed by independent verification—not internal reports from the Ghana Armed Forces or general maintenance summaries from France. “We cannot rely solely on what has been communicate...
