Kofi Ofosu Nkansah the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), has quizzed the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) after publishing a wanted poster for former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, does the OSP want Ken Ofori-Atta to leave the procedure he is undergoing and come and die?
Kofi Ofosu Nkansah noted that a national office cannot be used like that when Ken Ofori-Atta is collaborating with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) through his lawyers.
In a Facebook post on Monday, February 17, 2025, Nkansah wrote, “You don’t use a national office for this when the person is collaborating with your office through his lawyers and you haven’t provided any evidence to the contrary that he is not at the said US hospital”
“Should he leave the procedure he is undergoing and come and die? This is really shameful, and all well-meaning Ghanaians must condemn this,” he added.
His comments come after the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) published a poster of Ken Ofori-Atta as wanted.
Ken Ofori Atta has been accused of causing financial loss to the state in several dealings including the construction of the famous National Cathedral and Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA’s) – Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML), the loss reduction contract between ECG and Beijing Jao and Health Ministry to Service Ghana Auto Limited/Ambulances.
The OSP during a press conference stated, “The fugitive’s name is Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori Atta. Mr Ofori-Atta is 66 years old. He was the minister of Finance of the republic between 2017 and 2024. Mr Ofori-Atta left the jurisdiction on or around 2 January 2025.
On 24th January 2025, the OSP communicated to Mr Ofori-Atta that the OSP considered him a suspect with respect to four of the cases above. Mr Ofori-Atta was asked to attend in person on Monday 10th February 2025 at 10GMT for an interview…Mr Ofori-Atta instructed his lawyers to inform the OSP that he was out of the jurisdiction indefinitely on medical grounds…”
Meanwhile, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, the Minority Leader has revealed that the former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta is traumatized by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP)labelling him a fugitive.
According to Afenyo-Markin, Ken Ofori-Atta will make himself available for investigations.
