Ken Ofori-Atta, former finance minister
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially declared former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta as a suspect in four high-profile corruption investigations, including cases related to the National Cathedral project, Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML), and two undisclosed matters.
Speaking at a press briefing on February 12, 2025, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng said Ken Ofori-Atta is now a wanted person and a fugitive of justice.
He insisted that he must return to Ghana immediately to face questioning.
According to him, failure to comply would result in steps being taken to compel his return.
Kissi Agyebeng dismissed claims that Ken Ofori-Atta had left the country for medical treatment and insisted that the former minister must cooperate with the ongoing investigations.
He also refuted reports suggesting that officials from the OSP had raided Ofori-Atta’s residence on Tuesday, February 11.
Instead, Kissi Agyebeng alleged that the former minister himself staged the raid in an attempt to mislead the public and discredit the OSP’s investigations.
Ken Ofori-Atta is among other former appointees of the previous government under investigation.
