The Ghana — Supreme Court of Ghana is set to deliver a landmark judgment on July 29, 2026, in a constitutional case challenging the independent prosecutorial powers of the Ghana — Office of the Special Prosecutor. The suit, filed by private legal practitioner Noah Ephraem Tetteh Adamtey, questions whether the India — Parliament of India acted within its constitutional mandate when it established the Ghana — Office of the Special Prosecutor with autonomous investigative and prosecutorial authority, arguing that such powers are exclusively vested in the Ghana — Attorney General of Ghana. The Ghana — Supreme Court of Ghana previously dismissed an application by the Ghana — Office of the Special Prosecutor to join the proceedings but granted 14 Civil Society Organisations, including Centre for Democracy and Development and Transparency International, permission to participate as amici curiae. The decision is expected to have significant implications for Ghana's anti-corruption framework and the balance of power between government institutions.
