On Thursday, 3 April 2025, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng met with the leadership of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) to reinforce the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) commitment to preventing corruption through public education.
The discussions focused on leveraging the NCCE’s nationwide presence to intensify anti-corruption awareness. Mr. Agyebeng stressed that corruption prevention is a key function of the OSP, alongside investigation, prosecution, and asset recovery. He highlighted the need for a strategic partnership with the NCCE to reshape public attitudes and instil a culture of integrity at the grassroots level.

She reaffirmed the NCCE’s commitment to strengthening civic engagement and empowering Ghanaians to uphold ethical standards.
The meeting also underscored the need to combat vote-buying and selling well ahead of elections, rather than focusing efforts only during election periods. Both institutions agreed to explore resource mobilisation strategies to enhance public education on corruption.
