To convince myself about the usefulness of the OSP I asked is why the anti graft institutions like the police, BNI, EOCO, FIA, etc are unable to achieve success in the fight against corruption. The answer to me is that the desire, alacrity and drive from the highest office(s) in the land to fight the canker are non existent. If they are, we would have been palpably been seeing evidence of success. Any additional complementary office would have joined in produci success. Therefore, to me the setting up of the office of OSP is a complete waste as we know from the very beginning, without even with the foretelling of any prophet that it will be a failure.

I sincerely agree with the script writer. The OSP should be scrapped immediately. It's not achieving anything good for the nation. At the end of every month, you can imagine the amount of money wasted on that office as salary for its staff. That money can be channeled into more profitable ventures for the country's development. SCRAP THAT OFFICE, please

A father tells his children, "let me starve you this morning as a strategy to to give you a sumptuous meal in the evening." The youngest child asks, "Daddy, how about if I'm dead by the time your strategy comes to fruition?"
How does Mahama think of Ghanaians?

How will these power supply interruptions align with the so-called 24-hour Economy.

I still don't understand why Mahama personally intervened in the abolition of the OSP by parliament when the issue of its worthlessness became known to all.

The issue with the OSP was that the leadership talked too much. During some investigations, many innocent people were harassed simply because their mobile money details appeared in the statements of those being investigated. In such situations, if you couldn’t defend yourself well, you risked being wrongly implicated.
Even small tokens of appreciation—like receiving 200 cedis from someone you work for—could be interpreted by the OSP as abusing your office for personal gain.

Not when you're the cause of it not bearing fruits! The non-performing of OSP is simply because they haven't been given the powers and independence they deserve. The executive isn't committed enough to allow an independent OSP prosecute their own; a responsibility the Attorney General doesn't have the political solidarity to execute. Thaddeus is pushing for the cohots who abhor checks and balances. Advocates scrapping it? And replace with what? All they need is empowerment!

How can a OSP be chosen by the President and be independent? How difference is the OSP from the Atorney General then? Now if you are a new government will you like to keep him/her? We do things in Ghana like we are dumb. So called lawyers everywhere speaking big english but everything is basaaa . In any case the issue here is not about scrapping it -it is about right to prosecute. However the truth of the matter is that ghana is very polarised and for me the word independense is moot-every one is politicised. Stealing at high level in ghana is rife - if your party is doing it , it is ok-if your non party is doing it then it is the other way round. For me the constitution should be changed so the attorney general is scrapped and replaced with OSP-But the osp should be voted in.

I generally agree with your viewpoints. Anybody who has ever had any serious business with the Attorney Generals office would agree with me that due to its general inefficiency, that Ministry (AG) should be considerably downsized to save the waste of funds accruing from criminal incompetence. Whatever the authorities decide to eventually do, they should not dare dream of handing corruption cases to the AGs office.

And what is this winding convoluted gibberish that Thadeus Dory posted? Come on Thadeus, we (Joe public) think you are one of the few lawyers in this country who has got their heads screwed on right so don't disappoint us.

Stop the unnecessary generalisation based on your tribal bigotry. I am an Akyem from a royal family, but I am overly intelligent and incorruptible. Akuffo Addo is just inept and doesn't represent the Akan tribes.

[19/04, 23:19] The Ashanti Region has the highest number of senior high schools (SHS) in Ghana, with estimates ranging from 132 to over 149 public and private institutions, as of 2021-2023 reports. It consistently ranks first, followed by the Eastern and Greater Accra regions.

Key Details on Regional Distribution:
Top Region: Ashanti Region.
School Count: Approx. 122 public SHS + 66 private SHS (various sources indicate 132–149 total).
Second Highest: Eastern Region, which also receives a high number of student transfers.
Lowest: Upper West Region.

While identifying a single "most educated" tribe in Ghana is difficult, the Ashanti (Asante) people are frequently highlighted due to high academic performance, large population representation, and the high concentration of educational infrastructure within the Ashanti Region. Other groups noted for high educational attainment include the Fante and Ewe, with the highest regional literacy rates found in Greater Accra and Ashanti.
Ashanti (Asante) Group: Often considered the most educated due to their strong presence in tertiary institutions, high number of PhD holders, and high academic performance.
Regional Data: The 2021 Census highlights that the Greater Accra Region has the highest literacy rate (87.9%), followed by the Ashanti Region (78%).
Other Groups: Fante groups are noted for their proficiency in literature and English, while Voltarians (Ewes) are often recognized for their academic success in sciences and mathematics.
Regional Statistics: The Ashanti Region holds the highest number of educational institutions, facilitating better access to education.

It is important to note that academic performance is diverse across Ghana and varies based on individual opportunities, regional resources, and personal dedication rather than solely on ethnicity.

If the President is minded to he should issue an EI to empower the OSP and since he has no qualms about appointing overage people to public office appoint Mr Tsatsu Tsikata as SP and his lacky Mr Thadeous Sory as his deputy for Ghanaians to benefit from their legal competence,Ghanaians know the roles they played in the removal of the CJ and the trial of the Assin North MP, the future is pregnant.
