Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng has asked Ghanaians not to lose faith in his office since that would spell doom for Ghana.

Speaking at a press brief on Thursday January 25, 2024, Mr Agyebeng underscored the critical importance of public faith in the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and entreated citizens to maintain unwavering faith and confidence in his outfit.

“The day Ghanaians lose faith in the OSP is the day the soul of the country dies," he said.

The remark was made in response to a question posed by JoyFm journalist Elton Brobbey, who sought clarity on the level of trust citizens should have in the OSP's efforts to combat corruption in Ghana.

Agyebeng, who assumed the role of Special Prosecutor with the mandate to investigate and prosecute corruption-related offenses, expressed the belief that the OSP's effectiveness is intrinsically tied to the trust and confidence placed in its operations by the Ghanaian populace.

Mr Agyebeng at the press brief was giving an update on former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah’s suspected money laundering case.

During the presser, he revealed that he has officially referred the case to the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) for further investigations into suspected money laundering.

This decision comes in the wake of revelations that a significant portion of the substantial amounts of cash found at Dapaah’s residence, along with funds in her bank accounts, may have been repatriated from abroad.

Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, disclosed that the investigation took a cross-border turn when individuals of interest claimed that part of the seized cash was transported to the United States.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) subsequently joined forces with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to delve into the matter, after which he said his outfit has referred the case to EOCO.
