The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has criticised the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, for not interviewing former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta in the United States (US), as he did in the Airbus scandal case.
At a press conference on Thursday, the NPP’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, questioned why Mr. Agyebeng had traveled to the United Kingdom (UK) to interview former President John Mahama’s brother, Sam Mahama, but handled Mr. Ofori-Atta’s case differently.
“Kissi Agyebeng told us in August last year that he travelled all the way to the UK to interview Sam Mahama, John Mahama’s brother, in the Airbus scandal case. So, what stopped him from doing the same for the former minister?” he asked.
He stressed that the same patience applied in the Airbus probe should be used in this case.
“Just as you travelled to the UK to interview Sam Mahama, what stopped you from doing the same for the former Finance Minister? What is so urgent that, if you could have waited two years before interviewing Sam Mahama in the Airbus case, you couldn’t wait a bit longer for Mr. Ofori-Atta?” he queried.
Nana B assured that the former Minister had no intention of evading the investigation and would make himself available. He described the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) declaring Mr. Ofori-Atta wanted and labeling him a fugitive as unreasonable.
