The Majority in Parliament has issued a formal apology to former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta following a raid on his residence by armed security personnel.
Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga addressed the incident on the floor of Parliament, calling it regrettable and underscoring the Mahama administration’s dedication to safeguarding citizens’ rights.
“H.E. President John Dramani Mahama remains committed to ensuring that the rights and liberties of every individual are respected. We have received assurances from the office of the National Security Coordinator that the incident was not intended to happen,” Ayariga said.
He assured Parliament that such an occurrence would not happen again.
Meanwhile, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has distanced itself from the raid, calling it a staged event. On February 12, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng officially named Ofori-Atta as a suspect in four high-profile corruption investigations, including cases related to the National Cathedral project and Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML).
The OSP has declared Ofori-Atta a wanted person, demanding his immediate return for questioning and warning that legal action could be taken to compel his return.
