Dr Anthony Nsiah-Asare, former Presidential Advisor on Health has quizzed Ghanaians about the former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
The former presidential advisor is quoted to have said, “If Ken Ofori-Atta was your relative, would you give him this advice?”
His comments come on the back of some Ghanaians suggesting Ofori-Atta return to Ghana for treatment of diagnosed prostate cancer.
However the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng has revealed he has been notified of the medical condition that renders Ken Ofori-Atta unavailable for a scheduled appearance.
Kissi Agyebeng however revealed that the former Ken Ofori-Atta has not provided any medical report to justify his health concerns.
The OSP also rejected Ken Ofori-Atta’s request for a virtual session.
According to Kissi Agyebeng, Ken Ofori-Atta must present himself physically to the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
Kissi Agyebeng added, “This office has always requested his attendance, and we have indicated clearly to him that we are unwilling to waive it. If we were amenable to taking any statement from Ken Ofori-Atta in absentia, we would have done so in February, and not waited till June 2, 2025.
“We want him here physically, and we insist on it. A suspect in a criminal investigation does not pick and choose how the investigative body conducts its investigations and the methods suitable to him and his convenience. We will not countenance this conduct, not in this case”, he revealed.
The Special Prosecutor further revealed that he has triggered a process for the issuance of an INTERPOL red notice, potentially subjecting Ken Ofori-Atta, to international arrest and extradition.
“About 30 minutes before this brief, I triggered processes for the issuance of an INTERPOL red notice for the location and provisional arrest of Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta in whichever jurisdiction, pending extradition or his surrender,” the Special Prosecutor revealed.
It will be recalled the OSP accused him 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.
