Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has taken a hard swipe at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), accusing it of bungling the corruption case against former PPA boss A.B. Adjei.
Speaking on Joy FM, Manasseh said the OSP’s slow pace, procedural blunders, and evidence mishandling are crippling a case that once held national attention. He warned that the investigation is “fast becoming a foolish case” due to repeated setbacks.
A major flashpoint was the OSP submitting a pendrive without the very documentary—Contracts for Sale—that the court had accepted as evidence. The office later called it an error, but Manasseh said such mistakes could force the entire case to restart, risking witness withdrawals and complicating cross-examinations already done.
The 2019 documentary exposed how Adjei used his company, Talent Discovery Limited, to win government contracts through restrictive tendering and then sell those contracts—including one worth GH₵22.3 million to a non-existent entity.
Manasseh says he hasn’t heard from the Special Prosecutor in two weeks and insists his criticism is aimed squarely at the OSP’s poor case management, not the courts.
