The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially declared former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta wanted.
The OSP made this announcement on its official Facebook page on Monday, February 17, 2025.
According to the OSP, the former minister is wanted in connection with multiple financial irregularities, including:
•Strategic Mobilisation-GRA Contract
•Termination of ECG-BXC contract
•National Cathedral payments
•Ambulance procurement contract
•Tax Refund Account utilization
The public notice includes a photograph of Ofori-Atta, his personal details, and a request for information on his whereabouts.
The OSP has identified the United States (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK) as potential locations where he may be found.
The OSP has urged the public to provide any information regarding Ofori-Atta’s whereabouts by calling or sending a WhatsApp message to 0554494499 or 0554484488.
This move marks an intensified effort by the OSP to ensure the former minister faces legal action, following his alleged non-cooperation with investigations.
The OSP also reiterated that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
This comes after the Special Prosecutor’s press conference last week, where he publicly labeled Ofori-Atta a fugitive of justice.
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng declared Ken Ofori-Atta wanted yesterday, February 12, 2025.
The OSP is currently investigating four major cases involving Ofori-Atta’s tenure as finance minister; National Cathedral Procurement Scandal, Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML) Contract, ECG-Beijing Jao Contract, Health Ministry’s Ambulance Procurement Deal.
Ken Ofori-Atta is reportedly out of the country seeking medical attention. The OSP has ordered him to immediately return to Ghana for questioning.
