In a loud unanimous voice, the Supreme Court endorsed the prosecutorial powers of the the Office of the Special Prosecutor and dismissed all the reliefs of Mr. Noah Adamtey in the case of NOAH EPHRAEM TETTEH ADAMTEY v. ATTORNEY-GENERAL [TLP-SC-2026-22].
The Supreme Court held in the said case that the Office of the Special Prosecutor's powers does not derogate from the Article 88 powers of the Attorney-General. The Court thus set aside the decision of the High Court in the case of THE REPUBLIC v. THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL PROSECUTOR [TLP-HC-2026-10]
Per Baffoe Bonnie CJ at page 50 of the decision, "That the Office of the Special Prosecutor holds an authorisation given by the Attorney-General in accordance with law within the meaning of Article 88(4) of the Constitution, to initiate and conduct the prosecution of corruption and corruption-related offences, and that the authorisation subsists until amended or revoked in the manner in which it was given"
