The Human Rights Court has dismissed an application by former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta seeking leave to amend his writ and to obtain discovery in the ongoing civil suit against the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and Attorney General. The case is among several suits filed by Mr. Ofori-Atta challenging his designation as a wanted person and the arrest warrant issued against him.
During today’s proceedings, the Court clarified that the documents Mr. Ofori-Atta requested were deemed unnecessary for the case. As a result, the Court awarded costs of GHS 5,000 against the applicant, citing his attempt to waste the Court’s time.
The substantive ruling on the request to amend the original writ has been adjourned to December 12, 2025, to allow for further consideration. The case continues to draw attention as it underscores ongoing legal battles related to Mr. Ofori-Atta’s designation and the legal processes surrounding his status.
