The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken delivery of key components for its ISO-standard forensic laboratory and four advanced investigative interview rooms as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s anti-corruption fight.
In a post on social media, the OSP said the facilities, funded by the European Union through the German development agency GIZ, form part of an approximately €700,000 project aimed at equipping the OSP with specialized forensic technology, facility installation, and technical training for its personnel.
According to the OSP, the new infrastructure will improve the quality and reliability of forensic examinations and investigative interviews, while strengthening the scientific basis of corruption investigations.
The Office said the facilities will also enhance evidential integrity and support the delivery of credible justice in cases brought before the courts.
According to the OSP, it has pursued a multi-pronged approach to combating corruption through enforcement, asset recovery, and preventive measures.
Beyond investigations and prosecutions, the OSP said it is also investing in promoting a culture of integrity among young people through initiatives such as the Youth Against Corruption (YAC) programme, which seeks to encourage ethical leadership, accountability, and responsible citizenship among Ghana’s youth.
The Office noted that continued support from development partners, including the European Union and GIZ, reflects international confidence in Ghana’s commitment to strengthening the rule of law.
“The OSP remains focused on building a modern, professional, and resilient institution equipped to meet international standards and serve the people of Ghana,” it said.
