The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has reiterated its readiness to probe into suspected corruption and corruption-related offences in respect of illegal mining.
Following calls for action by the public and civil society organizations on the recent Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM) report by Prof. Frimpong Boateng, the OSP expressed acknowledgement of such calls, while indicating that it has already commenced investigations into the matter.
The report made several allegations against some government and political party officials who made various attempts allegedly to thwart his efforts in clamping down on illegal mining in the country.
In a press update released on May 2, Mr. Kissi Agyebeng pledged that his outfit will take the necessary action against all persons found culpable of corruption and corruption-related offences.
