The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has declared Ken Ofori-Atta, the former Finance Minister of Ghana, a fugitive. This declaration comes after the OSP alleged that Mr. Ofori-Atta failed to comply with a summons to appear before the office in connection with an ongoing investigation.
According to reports, the OSP had invited Mr. Ofori-Atta to answer questions regarding allegations of corruption and breach of the Public Procurement Act. However, the Minister allegedly failed to honor the invitation, prompting the OSP to declare him a fugitive.
The declaration of Ken Ofori-Atta as a fugitive by the OSP is a significant development in the ongoing efforts to combat corruption in Ghana. The OSP’s action is seen as a demonstration of its commitment to holding public officials accountable for their actions.
It is worth noting that a fugitive declaration does not necessarily imply guilt, and Mr. Ofori-Atta is entitled to a fair investigation and trial. However, the OSP’s action is likely to generate significant public interest and scrutiny of the Minister’s actions.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how Mr. Ofori-Atta will respond to the OSP’s declaration and what consequences may arise from his alleged failure to comply with the investigation.
