Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has issued a wanted notice for former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta, citing his failure to appear for questioning in multiple corruption-related investigations. Apexnewsgh reports
The notice, made public on February 17, 2025, declares Ofori-Atta a fugitive from justice and a wanted man.
According to the OSP, Ofori-Atta is under investigation for his alleged involvement in several financial irregularities, including:
Strategic Mobilization Limited-GRA contract: a controversial deal that has raised eyebrows among anti-corruption advocates
Termination of the ECG-BXC contract: a move that has been questioned by many
National Cathedral payments: a project that has been marred by allegations of corruption
Ambulance procurement contract: a deal that has been criticized for its lack of transparency
Utilisation of the Tax Refund Account: a matter that has raised concerns about financial mismanagement
The OSP believes Ofori-Atta may be residing in the United States or the United Kingdom. The wanted notice is a significant development in the ongoing investigations into Ofori-Atta’s activities during his tenure as Finance Minister.
While some have applauded the OSP’s move as a demonstration of Ghana’s commitment to accountability and transparency, others have expressed mixed reactions. As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: the OSP is determined to ensure that public officials are held responsible for their actions.
