The Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed by Kenneth Kwabena Agyei Kuranchie, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Searchlight Newspaper, challenging the constitutionality of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
Mr. Kuranchie sought a ruling from the Supreme Court declaring the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017 (ACT 957), unconstitutional.
The Act establishes the OSP to investigate corruption and related offences involving public officers, politically exposed persons, and individuals in the private sector.
This wasn’t Mr. Kuranchie’s first legal challenge against the OSP; he had previously filed and later discontinued a similar case last year.
However, his recent filing was also dismissed by the Supreme Court.
The Court said the OSP should not be distracted by such lawsuits and should instead focus on its mandate.
