Kissi Agyebeng is Ghana’s Special Prosecutor
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has announced that its investigations into contracts of Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML) have saved the country GH¢1.25 billion in potential unjustified payments.
According to the OSP, its intervention on June 10, 2025, stopped a stream of illegal financial outflows that would have continued through October 2028, draining public funds under irregular agreements.
In its latest report, the OSP stressed that its mandate goes beyond pursuing prosecutions, highlighting the importance of preventive measures in protecting public resources.
“Accountability is not just about prosecution. It is also about prevention,” the statement read.
