flag Ghana’s top legal expert says its current prosecutor system is flawed due to political appointments, urging reform to boost trust and fairness.

flag Prof H. Kwasi Prempeh, chair of Ghana’s Constitution Review Committee, says the country’s current prosecutorial system is broken due to the Attorney General being a political appointee, creating conflicts of interest that undermine justice, especially in corruption cases. flag He argues this model leads to inconsistent enforcement, few prosecutions of powerful officials, and widespread public distrust, with no guarantee that future governments will act differently. flag Citing Kenya’s model, where the Attorney General doesn’t prosecute, he urges Ghana to reform its system based on local realities, emphasizing the need for institutional credibility and independent anti-corruption mechanisms.
