The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) says its corruption-prevention and asset recovery interventions between July and December 2025 resulted in significant financial recoveries, asset seizures, and estimated savings to the state amounting to GH₵345 million.
This is contained in the OSP’s Half-Yearly Report for the second half of 2025, which outlines enforcement actions taken under the Office’s mandate to prevent, investigate, and prosecute corruption and corruption-related offences.
According to the report, the OSP recovered US$2 million on behalf of the Minerals Income Investment Fund, and GH₵8.52 million in a separate investigation involving the diversion of petroleum products.
The Office also detailed the seizure and management of assets linked to ongoing prosecutions, particularly in CR/0603/2025. These include cash totalling GH₵951,995.56, four fuel stations in Accra, parcels of land in Tamale, Adenta, Haatso, and Kumasi, and multiple high-value residential properties and apartments in prime locations in Accra.
Additional seized assets listed in the report include 23 fuel tanker trucks and several vehicles connected to investigations involving the Minerals Income Investment Fund.
Under its corruption-prevention mandate, the OSP reported that it completed a corruption risk assessment in December 2025 on disinfection services at Ghana’s ports of entry, involving the Ghana Health Service and LCB Worldwide Ghana Limited.
The assessment found that the arrangement granted exclusive nationwide control to a private entity, allowed direct fee collection from importers and exporters, and permitted revenues to be held in private accounts. The OSP concluded that the structure presented “immense systemic corruption risk.”
As a result, the OSP issued directives including the suspension of disbursements, cessation of private custody of public funds, initiation of a forensic audit, and the submission of an Integrity Plan by the Ghana Health Service by 31 March 2026.
The Office estimates that these interventions led to GH₵345 million in savings to the Republic, comprising cost avoidance, preservation of tax revenues, and prevention of future fiscal exposure.
Beyond enforcement, the OSP reported that it engaged 10,575 people through its Youth Against Corruption initiative across schools and public forums, while also organising training programmes for 40 journalists specialising in investigative reporting.
