Nana Yaa Jantuah a Presidential staffer has boldly stated that the former finance minister Ken Ofori Atta cannot hide behind sickness to escape accountability.
According to Nana Yaa Jantuah, Victor Selormey a former deputy finance minister under the Rawlings regime, was holding an oxygen tank in Nsawam Prison.
Nana Yaa Jantuah asserted that if Ken Ofori Atta has to answer questions, he must do so.
Speaking on Onua FM, Nana Yaa Jantuah added, “I believe we have an extradition treaty with the US, so Ken Ofori-Atta can be brought back to Ghana because we have hospitals here that can take care of him. I remember Victor Selormey, a deputy finance minister under the Rawlings regime, was holding an oxygen tank in Nsawam Prison.
I witnessed this—he was not feeling well at all. Throughout his court sessions, he was sick, yet he was not granted any consideration due to his ill health. Eventually, he died.”
Nana Yaa Jantuah added, “I was at the Cardio Unit when lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata was brought there suffering from an asthma attack. When a recommendation was made for his release due to his ill health, instead, that same night, he was sent back to prison. So, if Ken has to answer questions, he must do so.
I know of someone who was not sick but was locked up in the BNI cells in 2017. It is someone’s health condition, so I won’t mention the name, but this person was detained without any access to medical care. So, wherever Ken is, he should return and answer the questions,” the former Director of Public Relations and External Affairs at the Public Utilities Regulatory Commission (PURC), stated.
Meanwhile, Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has quizzed the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng what stops him from travelling to question Ken Ofori-Atta.
He noted that Kissi Agyebeng told Ghanaians he travelled to the UK to interview Sam Mahama, John Mahama’s brother, in the Airbus scandal case so what stops him now?
