Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa, Sulemana Braimah, has expressed concern over what he describes as turf wars among the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), the Attorney General’s Department, and the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Mr Braimah said the apparent disagreements among the institutions raise questions about whether they are genuinely working for the national interest.
“The turf wars going on among the AG, OSP, and EOCO make us question if these institutions set up by the country and being funded by the country also have personal interests or their interest is that of the country,” he stated while speaking on Newsfile,
He said the institutions should instead collaborate and build bridges to ensure that corruption cases are effectively pursued.
“That is why I am saying that there should be collaboration between them,” he said.
Braimah urged the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, and the Attorney General’s Department to work together in the interest of the country rather than allowing institutional disagreements to undermine the fight against corruption.
“I would advise my brother Kissi Agyebeng and, of course, the AG’s department to see how, in the interest of the country, they can come together and build bridges so that we can pursue cases that are going to yield results,” he stated.
