The Supreme Court will deliver a judgment on July 29, 2026, in a constitutional case brought by lawyer Noah Ephraem Tetteh Adamtey, challenging whether Parliament lawfully granted the Office of the Special Prosecutor independent investigative and prosecutorial powers, arguing the 1992 Constitution vests prosecutorial authority exclusively in the Attorney-General.
The Deputy Attorney-General and 14 civil society organisations appeared at the Supreme Court for a case filed in December 2025 challenging whether Parliament unconstitutionally granted prosecutorial powers to the Office of the Special Prosecutor. The Attorney-General's office argues that Article 88(3) of the Constitution vests prosecutorial powers solely in its office and that Parliament acted unconstitutionally by passing the OSP Act, 2017.
The Deputy Attorney-General and 14 civil society organisations appeared at the Supreme Court for a hearing on a constitutional case challenging whether Parliament had the authority to grant the Office of the Special Prosecutor independent prosecutorial powers. The case, filed by private legal practitioner Noah Ephraem Tetteh Adamtey, argues that Articles 88(3) and 88(4) of the Constitution vest prosecutorial authority solely in the Attorney-General, and that the OSP Act 2017 was unconstitutional.
The Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC) has escalated its dispute with the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) and its subsidiary Explorco to the Office of the Attorney-General, over Explorco's failure to account for and transfer petroleum revenues amounting to US$561,648,785.37 between 2022 and 2024. The central issue is whether Explorco, as a commercial subsidiary of GNPC, can legally retain petroleum lifting proceeds outside the Petroleum Holding Fund structure or whether all such revenues must accrue to the state under the Petroleum Revenue Management Act.
The Supreme Court has granted an application by 14 civil society organisations to join the case of Adamtey v Attorney-General, which challenges the constitutionality of the Office of the Special Prosecutor.

IMANI Africa has defended civil society organisations' participation in a Supreme Court case challenging the constitutionality of Ghana's Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017, saying CSO involvement is justified to support constitutional interpretation and strengthen accountability despite criticism that it may amount to advocacy rather than neutral assistance.
Fourteen civil society organisations, including CDD, IMANI Africa, and Transparency International Ghana, have filed to join a Supreme Court case challenging the constitutionality of Ghana's Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2017. The groups say their involvement is motivated by commitment to constitutionalism, accountable governance, and anti-corruption, and is not partisan or personal.
Benjamin Boakye, Executive Director of the Africa Centre for Energy Policy, has attributed recent power infrastructure failures to deep-seated institutional negligence rather than isolated mistakes. He cited a major fire at a critical power substation as evidence of systemic weaknesses in institutional culture, planning and accountability, and called for a thorough investigation.
The Africa Centre for Energy Policy says the recent fire at Akosombo-linked infrastructure reflects deep-seated institutional weaknesses and negligence in Ghana's power sector, extending beyond individual responsibility to broader systemic failures requiring institutional reform rather than ad-hoc responses.
The Africa Centre for Energy Policy's executive director says Ghana's power sector needs deep structural and behavioural reforms to address persistent challenges like intermittent outages, not simply leadership reshuffles. He argues the sector's inefficiencies stem from long-standing institutional weaknesses and require strengthened accountability and professionalism across energy agencies.
