Ghana's OSP Seeks Alternative Path in Ofori-Atta Investigation

Ghana's OSP Ultimatum to Finance Minister: Analyst Suggests Alternative Approach Ghana is currently focused on the Office of the Special Prosecutor's (OSP) June 2nd deadline issued to Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta. NewsCenta Editor Elvis Darko has weighed in, suggesting a more measured approach. Instead of demanding immediate answers from Ofori-Atta, Darko proposes that the OSP direct written questions to the Minister's legal team. Only if these responses prove unsatisfactory should the OSP proceed to court. "No crucial info is in Ofori-Atta's room. The OSP should send written questions to his lawyers—and if the answers don’t clear him, proceed to court," stated Darko in a recent video analysis. He further emphasized that relevant information is likely held within various state institutions, not just in the Minister's possession. This alternative approach could streamline the investigation and ensure a more thorough examination of the facts before legal action is taken. The situation highlights the ongoing scrutiny of government officials in Ghana and the ongoing efforts to combat corruption.
