The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially removed former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, from its wanted list after receiving confirmation from his legal team that he will return to Ghana in May 2025. Ofori-Atta had previously been declared wanted by the OSP in connection with alleged financial misconduct during his tenure as Minister of Finance. However, his whereabouts remained unclear, leading to uncertainty over his participation in ongoing investigations.
Ofori-Atta’s legal team has assured the OSP of their client’s full cooperation with the investigation, further confirming that he intends to comply with any legal proceedings upon his return to the country. His lawyers have indicated that he had been overseas for personal reasons and has been fully committed to addressing the legal matters at hand once he returns. The OSP has accepted these assurances and removed Ofori-Atta from its list of wanted individuals.
The case against the former finance minister continues, with the OSP maintaining that the investigation will proceed transparently, with all relevant parties expected to cooperate. This marks a significant step forward in the ongoing probe into alleged financial irregularities during Ofori-Atta’s time in office.
