Senior member of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Lawyer Kwame Jantuah has stated that former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta is scared he will be placed under arrest upon his return to Ghana.
According to Kwame Jantuah, Ken Ofori-Atta’s passport will be probably seized and he will be placed under arrest.
Kwame Janutah is quoted by GHOne TV to have stated, “Perhaps Ken Ofori-Atta is sacred that if he returns to Ghana, his passport will be seized and that he’ll probably be placed under some form of arrest”.
His comments come on the back of the OSP rejecting 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.
