OSP publishes wanted poster for Ken Ofori-Atta; solicits for information about his whereabouts

 

The office of the special prosecutor has officially declared former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta wanted, posting a public notice on Facebook following last week’s fugitive declaration.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has released a wanted poster for former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

Ken Ofori-Atta is wanted by the OSP for cases being investigated including the loss reduction contract between ECG and Beijing Jao, procurement over National Cathedral, contracts awarded by the Health Ministry to Service Ghana Auto Limited/Ambulances and the SML-GRA deal.

In a Facebook post on Monday, February 17, 2025, OSP urged anyone with information on the whereabouts of Ofori-Atta to alert its office.

 

Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng declared Ofori-Atta a fugitive and placed him on its wanted list.

Kissi Agyebeng stated that Ofori-Atta had repeatedly refused to honour invitations for questioning regarding ongoing investigations in which he is a suspect.

“Consequently, the OSP declares Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta a wanted person. He is a fugitive from the law,” Agyebeng announced.

The OSP further emphasized that it would take all necessary measures to compel the former minister to appear and answer questions related to the investigations
