OSP to investigate BOG officials, others

The crisis led to the collapse of some nine domestic banks and other financial institutions.

Following the banking clean-up exercise, analysts called on the state to prosecute officials at the central bank under the previous regime whose actions and inaction resulted in the banking failures.

For instance, a financial analyst, Mr. Joe Jackson wondered why those officials had not been held liable for their stewardship.

But the OSP said in a statement on Tuesday, January 25 that the investigation will target alleged corruption and corruption-related offenses perpetrated by officials of the Bank of Ghana, banks, specialized deposit-taking institutions, and all financial holding companies.
