Ghana's Ex-Finance Minister Wanted Again: Interpol Red Notice Looms

Ghana's Former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, Back on OSP's Wanted List Amidst Corruption Allegations Accra, Ghana – Ken Ofori-Atta, Ghana's former finance minister, has been declared a wanted person once again by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). The OSP's decision follows Ofori-Atta's failure to appear for questioning on June 2nd, 2025, despite a prior agreement and set deadline. The OSP is investigating Ofori-Atta for several high-profile corruption allegations, including his involvement in the Petroleum & Minerals Revenue Assurance contract, the Electricity Contract Termination, and the National Cathedral project. "His conduct is totally unacceptable and a willful spite at law enforcement and criminal investigations," stated a representative from the OSP in a recent press briefing. The OSP's statement highlights the seriousness of the situation and the determination to bring Ofori-Atta to justice. The video shows the OSP's press release, detailing the charges and Ofori-Atta's failure to appear. Ofori-Atta's legal team has claimed that he suffered from unexpected health complications and submitted medical documents to support their claim. However, the OSP has insisted on in-person questioning, and the possibility of an Interpol Red Notice being issued presents a significant escalation of the case. The OSP is also investigating Ofori-Atta for his role in the GHS 280 million corruption case. The OSP's unwavering commitment to enforcing the law underscores the importance of accountability and transparency within the Ghanaian government. The ongoing legal proceedings and potential international implications highlight the gravity of these corruption allegations and the determination to ensure justice is served.
