Special prosecutor demands fair wages and salaries for staff to effectively discharge their duties
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has called for better salaries and conditions of service for staff of his office.
According to him, fighting corruption requires integrity, and that starts with fair compensation to reduce the risk of staff being tempted by bribes or undue influence.
He explained that the Office of the Special Prosecutor investigates powerful and wealthy individuals, making it even more important to build a strong and independent team.
“Let’s make no mistake, the people we go after are not average. Most of them are rich, and the temptation is real, especially in a gift-giving society like ours,” he said.
Mr. Agyebeng urged government and stakeholders to “reimagine” the pay structure for his office, just as was done for judges some years ago.
He added that properly resourced staff will be better positioned to uphold the law and help build an anti-corruption institution that stands the test of time.

Chief Imam issues disclaimer on unauthorised petitions
The Office of the National Chief Imam has warned Muslim organizations and individuals against issuing statements and petitions to the Government in his name without permission.
In a statement, the Chief Imam said he had observed that some groups had been circulating petitions, including a recent one on Hajj, using his name without authorization.
He stressed that such actions were unlawful and cautioned those involved to stop or face the law.
The Chief Imam reminded the public that on October 4, 2022, he, together with the National Imams of all Muslim sects, signed a deed and presented it to the Government at the Jubilee House.
The agreement recognised the National Muslim Conference of Ghana as the official body representing Muslims in their dealings with state institutions.
He urged that any petitions meant to be sent to the Government in his name should go through the National Muslim Conference of Ghana with the approval of the Advisory Board of his office.
