The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has announced that it has removed Ghana’s former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta from the wanted list, as declared on February 12, 2025.
The OSP declared Mr. Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta a wanted person and a fugitive of justice on the ground that Mr. Ofori-Atta had allegedly failed to indicate a reasonable time for his return to Ghana after announcing his absence from this jurisdiction to seek medical care in the United States of America.
The OSP, in a letter signed by Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, indicated that Mr. Ofori-Atta transmitted a communication through his lawyers to the OSP by which he gave a definite date for his voluntary return to Ghana.
“This marks a major shift from Mr. Ofori-Atta’s previous intention of remaining outside the jurisdiction indefinitely,” an excerpt of the statement read.
