The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) have joined forces to ramp up efforts against corruption in Ghana through public awareness campaigns.
This collaboration was announced following a meeting between Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng and the leadership of the NCCE on Thursday, April 3, where both parties pledged to intensify their work in educating the public on the harmful effects of corruption.
Agyebeng emphasized that the OSP's responsibilities go beyond investigations and prosecutions. He highlighted the importance of public education in shaping attitudes toward corruption and fostering integrity at the grassroots level. He assured the NCCE of his ongoing commitment to working together to spread these messages nationwide.
Kathleen Addy, Chairperson of the NCCE, welcomed the strengthened partnership, noting that the Commission’s extensive national presence positions it well to educate citizens on issues like corruption. She reaffirmed the NCCE’s commitment to encouraging civic responsibility and empowering citizens to maintain ethical standards.
The meeting also discussed the need to address vote-buying and selling in the lead-up to elections. Both institutions agreed that these efforts must be continuous and not limited to election periods.
In addition, they explored ways to mobilize resources to enhance their anti-corruption education campaigns.
Agyebeng was accompanied by Samuel Appiah Darko, OSP’s Director for Strategy, Research, and Communications. The NCCE delegation included Chairperson Addy, Deputy Chairperson (Operations) Samuel Asare Akuamoah, Deputy Chairperson (General Services) Victor Brobbey, and other senior officials.
