The Office of the Special Prosecutor has re-declared former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta fugitive after failing to appear by the office as directed.
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, in a stern notice issued on Monday, June 2, stated that his patience with Mr. Ofori-Atta has run out, following what it describes as repeated delays and noncompliance with ongoing criminal proceedings against him.
“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.”
Ken Ofori-Atta has been declared wanted again for the second time in 2025 by the Office of the Special Prosecutor despite requesting for a virtual session because of medical reasons.
