Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng on Thursday, 3 April 2025, held a crucial meeting with the leadership of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) to strengthen the fight against corruption in Ghana through enhanced public education.
The discussions, which centered on leveraging the NCCE’s nationwide network, aimed to intensify anti-corruption awareness across the country.
Mr. Agyebeng emphasised that corruption prevention remains a core function of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), alongside its roles in investigation, prosecution, and asset recovery.
Mr. Agyebeng said we must reshape public attitudes towards corruption and instil a culture of integrity right from the grassroots.
Kathleen Addy, Chairperson of the NCCE, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, acknowledging the Commission’s extensive reach as an asset in educating citizens about corruption.
Madam Addy remarked that the NCCE is committed to empowering Ghanaians to uphold ethical standards and strengthen civic engagement.
The meeting also highlighted the importance of addressing vote-buying and selling ahead of future elections, with both institutions agreeing that prevention efforts should extend beyond election periods.
Accompanying the Special Prosecutor was Samuel Appiah Darko, Director for Strategy, Research and Communications at OSP.
The NCCE delegation included Chairperson Kathleen Addy, Deputy Chairman (Operations) Samuel Asare Akuamoah, Deputy Chairman (General Services) Victor Brobbey and other senior officials.
The two institutions agreed to explore strategies for mobilizing resources to support their anti-corruption public education campaigns, aiming for a sustained impact in reshaping public perceptions and preventing corrupt practices in Ghana.
