President of policy think tank, IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe, has promised to raise funds to support the work of the Special Prosecutor who recently complained about lack of resources for the Office.

Speaking on Citi TV/ Citi FM’s new analysis programme, The Big Issue on Saturday, Mr. Cudjoe said: “I am willing to actually go ahead to also talk to people I know, organizations that can support the office of the Special Prosecutor.”

He said some international bodies have already expressed interest in supporting such an anti-corruption body.

“Some [institutions] actually asked whether they could support the office of the Special Prosecutor. I recall Ford Foundation told me that they think there is an opportunity to support the office and they had wanted to meet the finance ministry long ago. I believe these things can still be activated.”

Franklin Cudjoe however took a swipe at the Akufo-Addo government for not being able to resource the Special Prosecutor’s office despite making so much noise about it.

“The last person we should be hearing complaints about lack of resources is actually the Special Prosecutor. Don’t forget that it was one of the most quantifiable promises that Nana Akufo-Addo made, that in six months he was going to get an office of the Special Prosecutor in place,” Mr. Cudjoe stated.
