Accra, Ghana//-Ghana’s Supreme Court on Wednesday, 10 June 2026, heard oral arguments in Adamtey v. Attorney-General, the suit challenging the constitutionality of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
At the close of the hearing, the Court fixed Wednesday, 29 July 2026, for the delivery of final judgment.
“As the public would recall, the Court had earlier admitted all fourteen (14) of the underlisted civil society organisations to join the proceedings by way of an amicus brief”, the 14 CSOs joined in the case said in a press release.
At Wednesday’s hearing, the CSOs were represented by Messrs Kizito Beyuo, Samson Lardy Anyenini, Clement Kojo Akapame and Oliver Barker-Vormawor.
“We hope that the Court will uphold the positions canvassed by the CSOs and affirm the constitutionality of the OSP law.
We also remind Ghanaians that an Act of Parliament established the Office of the Special Prosecutor, passed with broad national consensus, and it remains one of the principal institutions on which Ghana’s anti-corruption effort depends”, the release said.
A further update to the public will be provided upon delivery of the judgment on 29 July 2026, it said.
