The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has released a wanted notice in its intensified efforts to locate former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta days after declaring him a fugitive.
The poster issued on February 17, 2025, includes Mr. Ofori-Atta’s name, photograph, and personal details, stating that he is wanted in connection with multiple corruption-related investigations.
In a post on X, the OSP reiterated that Mr. Ofori-Atta is wanted to answer charges in several cases including, the Strategic Mobilisation-GRA contract, the termination of the ECG-BXC contract, payments related to the National Cathedral, and the Ambulance Procurement contract.
The notice also listed the United States and the United Kingdom as possible locations where he might be residing.
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng at a press briefing on Wednesday, February 12, declared that Ofori-Atta is wanted and must return to Ghana immediately to face questioning.
Although a letter from his lawyers has indicated he is receiving medical treatment abroad, Mr. Agyebeng warned that failure to comply would result in steps being taken to compel his return.
The OSP’s actions have attracted widespread condemnation, particularly after Mr. Agyebeng described a raid on his home in Cantonments as staged.
