Dr. Bawumia has given the assurance that the country will witness a major decline in the corruption indexes due to the existence of the Special Prosecutor whose mandate is to help fight corruption and ensure prudent use of the country's resources
Delivering a speech at the 86th Annual National Convention of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission on Thursday, January 4, 2018 under the theme "Ensuring a Disciplined Society: The Role of Religion", Dr. Bawumia stated emphatically that the Special Prosecutor Act is a "significant step in the president’s determination to fight corruption in the public life of our dear nation".
To him, the Act is the antidote to corruption in the country.
"...Both past and present public officers will be under the microscope and held to account for their actions..." he said.
President Akufo-Addo on Tuesday, January 2, 2018 signed the Special Prosecutor Bill and four others into law.
The five bills into law are the office of the Special Prosecutor Bill, The Northern Development Authority Bill, Coastal Development Authority Bill, Middle Belt Development Authority Bill and the Zongo Development Fund Bill.
Dr Bawumia believes the Special Prosecutor Act will put public officersin check as government buckles up to fight against corruption.
"Signing of the Special Prosecutor Bill into law is a significant step in the president’s determination to fight corruption in the public life of our dear nation".
He further touched on the Northern Development Authority, Coastal Development Authority and Middle Belt Development Authority Acts which he emphasized "will manage the cedi equivalent of $1 million allocation to every constituency to undertake basic infrastructure projects. This is aimed at enhancing bottom-up development by increasing economic activity at the local level, and can only be achieved with significant levels of discipline and commitment".
The Akufo-Addo administration, he added, has enacted the Zongo Development Fund Bill "to utilize resources prudently to benefit deprived communities" and improve the lives of residents at Zongo communities.
"The Government of Nana Akufo-Addo is committed to building a robust economy to provide equal opportunity for all Ghanaians by rolling out some bold policy initiatives. These initiatives require high levels of collaboration, commitment and discipline to be successful", he assured.

This Special Prosecutor initiative is good in theory and I wish it would work in practice as expected but unfortunately, there's overwhelming evidence of the failure of many good initiatives.
Why run when you see a police officer if you have not committed a crime?
the set-up is for special people like the top men including the president.
Including Osafo Marfo.
