For the second time, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has declared former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a wanted person. This latest declaration significantly intensifies Ghana’s already politically and legally charged environment. The OSP's investigations focus on serious corruption allegations, including those linked to the highly controversial National Cathedral project and the revenue assurance contract with Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd. According to official OSP statements, Mr Ofori-Atta has repeatedly failed to comply with summonses. This alleged non-compliance, detailed in multiple press releases, led to his initial classification as a “fugitive from justice” in February.
