The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has removed former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, from its list of wanted persons and the former Minister also ceased to be considered as a fugitive from justice.
This development came after Ofori-Atta through his lawyers communicated to the OSP and stated a definite date of his voluntary return to the jurisdiction.
“On February 18, 2025, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta transmitted a communication through his lawyers to the OSP, by which he stated a definite date of his voluntary return to the jurisdiction. This marks a major shift from Mr. Ofori-Atta’s previous intention of remaining outside the jurisdiction indefinitely. Consequently, Mr. Ofori-Atta has been removed from the OSP’s list of wanted persons and the OSP ceases to consider Mr. Ofori-Atta a fugitive from justice pending his voluntary return to the jurisdiction circa his stated date.” OSP announced in a statement.
However, Mr. Kissi Agyebeng stated that the Ex-Finance Minister shall be re-entered on the OSP’s list of wanted persons and the OSP shall then consider him a fugitive from justice if he fails to return voluntarily to the jurisdiction.
“If Mr. Ofori-Atta fails to voluntarily return to the jurisdiction circa his stated date, and if Mr. Ofori-Atta fails to voluntarily return to the jurisdiction circa his stated date, and if Mr. Ofri-Atta fails to attend the OSP on the rescheduled date, he shall be re-entered on the OSP’s list of wanted persons and the OSP shall then consider him a fugitive from justice, and the OSP shall take all necessary legal steps to secure his return to the jurisdiction and attendance at the OSP at our own choosing.” Part of the statement read.
Mr. Kissi Agyebeng assured that the OSP is committed to ensure that they work according to the due process and fairness.
“The OSP is committed to its mandate of ensuring accountability guided by due process and fairness.” He added.
