Former Finance Minister Kenneth Ofori-Atta is no longer considered a wanted person and a fugitive from justice, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has disclosed.
This comes after Ofori-Atta, through his lawyers, informed the OSP of his intention to voluntarily return to Ghana.
The OSP had previously declared Ofori-Atta a wanted person on February 12, 2025, after he failed to indicate a reasonable time for his return to Ghana, despite being informed that he was a suspect in various corruption and corruption-related cases.
However, following Ofori-Atta’s communication, the OSP has rescheduled his attendance date, taking into account his stated date of voluntary return.
“The OSP is committed to its mandate of ensuring accountability guided by due process and fairness,” Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng stated.
if Ofori-Atta fails to voluntarily return to Ghana or attend the OSP on the rescheduled date, he will be re-entered on the OSP’s list of wanted persons and considered a fugitive from justice once again.
