Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande, says even the dead body of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta will face justice for corruption related charges if he dies outside of Ghana.
According to him, the government will do all in its power to repatriate Ken Ofori-Atta to Ghana to face justice.
In an interview with Joy News on Monday, February 17, he stated:
“If Ken Ofori-Atta should refuse to come, every measure will be deployed to bring him down to this country. If for any reason he passes on, his dead body will be prosecuted and jailed, and every stolen money belonging to the people of Ghana will be retrieved. It is not just an agenda of government but a mandate.”
“I fear to steal what is for the public. I will never steal what is for the public. If for any reason I come into contact with a decision to harm the people of this country, I would rather be poor so that Ghanaians will respect me for it,” he added, stating his stance for accountability.
Mustapha Gbande added that he highly regards integrity and gaining the trust of the Ghanaian people over wealth.
The politician’s comments come after the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng declared former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta wanted.
The Special Prosecutor called on Ken Ofori-Atta who is in the United States seeking medical treatment to immediately return to Ghana and answer questions into allegations related to the National Cathedral project, Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML), ECG-Beijing Jao Contract, Health Ministry’s Ambulance Procurement Deal.
During a press briefing, Agyebeng warned that legal measures would be enforced should Ofori-Atta fail to comply.
