Ken Ofori-Atta to be re-declared wanted …if he fails to avail himself at OSP - Ghanaian Times

Ken Ofori-Atta, Ghana's Finance Minister, faces potential legal consequences if he does not comply with a summons from the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). The OSP has issued a directive for him to appear in connection with ongoing investigations into alleged corruption and financial misconduct. Failure to respond could lead to his being declared wanted.

The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, emphasized the importance of accountability and transparency in governance. He stated that all individuals involved in the investigation must cooperate fully to uphold the rule of law. The OSP is committed to ensuring that no one is above the law, regardless of their position or influence.

Ofori-Atta's situation highlights broader concerns regarding corruption within Ghana's government. As public scrutiny increases, there are calls for greater integrity among officials. The outcome of this case may set a significant precedent for how similar cases are handled in the future, reinforcing the need for ethical conduct among public servants.
