The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has issued a final deadline of June 2, 2025, for Ken Ofori-Atta, former Minister of Finance, to appear in person for questioning as part of an ongoing investigation into several high-profile financial and procurement-related matters during his tenure under former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The OSP warned that if Ofori-Atta fails to report by the stipulated date, his name will be reinstated on the list of wanted persons in Ghana, and he will again be officially declared a fugitive from justice.

In that event, the office states that it will initiate the formal process to request an INTERPOL Red Notice, which could result in international arrest and extradition.

OSP investigating Ken Ofori-Atta over five key issues

The Special Prosecutor’s office is probing Ofori-Atta in connection with five major investigations:

  • Petroleum and Minerals Revenue Assurance: Examining the contractual relationship between Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
  • Electricity Company Contract termination: Investigating the abrupt cancellation of a contract between the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) and Beijing Xiao Cheng Technology (BXC).
  • National Cathedral Project: Reviewing procurement procedures and financial transactions related to the controversial National Cathedral project.
  • Ambulance Procurement Scandal: Scrutinising a Ministry of Health deal with Service Ghana Auto Group Limited for the purchase and maintenance of 307 ambulances.
  • GRA Tax P-Fund Management: Investigating the handling and disbursement of funds from the GRA’s Tax P-Fund Account.

Failure to appear could lead to international legal action

In January 2025, the OSP officially notified Ken Ofori-Atta of his suspect status across these five cases and summoned him to appear on February 10, 2025. However, his legal team informed the office that he was abroad indefinitely for medical reasons and proposed to represent him in absentia.

The Special Prosecutor rejected the claim of indefinite absence, demanding a firm return date and warning that legal actions would follow if Ofori-Atta failed to comply.

With the June 2, 2025, deadline now set, pressure is mounting for the former Finance Minister to return to Ghana and face the legal process.
