OSP can come for you - Amaliba Cautions Mahama's Officials Against Corruption

Accra, Ghana - 16 Feb, 2025 - Abraham Amaliba, Director-General of Ghana's National Road Safety Authority, has cautioned his colleagues in the Mahama administration to avoid engaging in corrupt practices, as the country's Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, intensifies efforts to hold public officials accountable.

Amaliba's warning comes as former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta faces investigation over alleged corruption, including his involvement in the National Cathedral project and Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML). Ofori-Atta has been declared a wanted person by the Special Prosecutor's office and is expected to return for questioning.

In an interview with Channel One TV, Amaliba emphasized the importance of integrity and accountability in governance, urging his colleagues to learn from the ongoing investigations and maintain transparency in their actions. He also advised them against attacking the Special Prosecutor when investigations into their actions begin, stressing that accountability is essential for good governance.

“This is the time that his hands are [Special Prosecutor] free but we government appointees must also know that after he’s done with former executives [officials] he will be coming after us. I don’t know what time he’s going to come, but when the wrongs are committed in our administration and he comes after our people, we mustn’t start calling him names.

“The fact that he’s doing this because people voted for accountability, doesn’t mean that the accountability will not be extended to us who are in power today. And that is the question I want to give to our appointees,'' he added.
