The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has commenced investigations into suspected corruption and corruption-related offences in respect of illegal small-scale mining.
The investigation targets some officials of the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and the Forestry Commission.
It also targets the activities and expenditure of the dissolved Inter-Ministerial Committe on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), especially in respect of the seizure and management of excavators, machiney, road vehicles, and gold nuggets.
The investigation includes the active and ongoing enquiry into allegatios of use of public office for profit against Charles Bissue, during his tenure as Secretary to the IMCIM, arising from an investigative documentary titled Galamsey Fraud Part I, published by Tiger Eye P. I.
The investigation further targets the activities of Akonta Mining Limited and other companies, nationals of foreign countries allegedly involved in illegal mining, and allegations of corruption-related offences against some Municipal and District Chief Executives and political party officials.

Is this OSP guy serious ? So cant Africans design our own system to speed up cases of such nature? We are fed up with the OSP. Years after its existence what have they done. Mahama and his brothers allegedly used fake company to dupe us on this Aircraft matter what have we heard about it and several other cases. He seems to follow that good for nothing martin Amidu.
Is OSP picking up these cases to take the heat out and kick the can on the road? Whilst I back him all the way, he needs to be careful and deal with the cases expeditiously. Has OSP now been adequately resourced to take all these cases? We waiting for your prosecutions. He should also engage private legal practitioners like Martin, Ace Achoma etc to augment his resources and help speed up the cases. Relying only on his few staff will be catastrophic to the Office reputation and delays. A word to a wise is enough.
The talking is too much. The OSP should act and stop disturbing our ears if it has the required evidence . What has happened to the Airbus matter? We talk too much in this country of ours.
