Kissi Agyebeng the Special Prosecutor has said the former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s conduct is unacceptable.
The Special Prosecutor quizzed why Ken Ofori Atta wants special treatment.
Kissi Agyebeng stated the office of the Special Prosecutor investigated a former President but did not have to chase him around.
He noted his office investigated now President John Mahama when he was in opposition regarding the Airbus Scandal how much less a former finance minister.
Speaking to the media on Monday, June 2, Kissi Agyebeng stated, Mr Ofori-Atta’s conduct unacceptable, why does he want special treatment? It ends here and it ends now!”.
The Special Prosecutor further 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.
