The Attorney-General, Godfred Yeboah Dame has sworn a nine-member Board for the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

Since Kissi Agyebeng was sworn into office nine months ago, the OSP has been without a Board.

The absence of the Board members has been a thorny issue for many civil society organisations who have lamented the lack of a substantive Board and the impact on the operations of the Special Prosecutor.
