The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has issued a wanted notice for former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta after he failed to appear for questioning on multiple corruption-related investigations. According to the OSP, Ofori-Atta may currently be in the United States or the United Kingdom.
He is being investigated for alleged financial irregularities involving contracts such as the Strategic Mobilization Limited-GRA deal, the ECG-BXC contract termination, National Cathedral payments, the ambulance procurement contract, and the Tax Refund Account.
The declaration has sparked mixed reactions, with some praising it as a step toward accountability, while others, including opposition members, claim it is politically motivated. His legal team argues that the move is unfair, emphasizing that Ofori-Atta is seeking medical care abroad and has informed the OSP. Meanwhile, authorities have called on the public to provide any information on his whereabouts.
