Return to Ghana voluntarily or we’ll compel you to – OSP tells Ofori-Atta

Sources close to former finance minister, Kenneth Ofori-Atta have confirmed that Mr. Ofori-Atta will not be able to physically appear before the Office of the Special Prosecutor on June 2 as originally agreed.

This is due to an unexpected deterioration in Mr. Ofori-Atta’s health condition.

According to Frank Davies, a member of the legal team of Ken Ofori-Atta, this development has been officially communicated to the OSP as well as the Human Rights Court with medical reports presented to confirm the circumstances.

The weekend saw a series of media reports suggesting that the Special Prosecutor, Mr Kissi Agyabeng, is expected to declare Mr Ofori-Atta wanted again if the latter fails to show up.

Mr Ofori-Atta’s has a pending suit at the Human Rights Court challenging the OSP declaring him wanted as unlawful. The Judge has set June18 for Ruling.

Indeed, the OSP issued a news alert on Thursday May 28 2025 on its X account confirming this: “The Human Rights Court has adjourned to 18 June 2025 for a ruling on a motion filed by former Finance Minister Kenneth Ofori-Atta, seeking to restrain the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from declaring him wanted, among other reliefs

“Mr Ofori-Atta is also asking the court to order the OSP to remove previous declarations from its social media platforms. His motion was moved by his legal team and is being contested by the OSP. The court will deliver its ruling on the matter on 18 June 2025,” the statement read.

Mr Ofori-Atta’s lawyers have submitted to court full details of his current medical situation, including scheduled surgical procedures.

In the meantime, sources close to the former Finance Minister say he has offered to participate in the OSP’s probe virtually, in line with provisions under the Electronic Transactions Act.

This would allow the OSP to obtain a Cautioned Statement from him remotely while he undergoes treatment.

But the OSP hasn’t provided any official response to the development yet.

Key issues under investigation

Petroleum and Minerals Revenue Assurance

– Contractual arrangements between Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

Electricity company contract termination

– Termination of a contract between the Electricity Company of Ghana and Beijing Xiao Cheng Technology (BXC).

National Cathedral project

– Procurement procedures and financial transactions related to the National Cathedral.

Ambulance procurement

– A Ministry of Health contract with Service Ghana Auto Group Limited for the purchase and maintenance of 307 ambulances.

GRA Tax P-Fund management

– Handling and disbursement of funds from the Tax P-Fund Account of the GRA.

Timeline of events

January 2025

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) officially notified Mr. Ofori-Atta that he was a suspect in five separate cases and requested his appearance on 10 February 2025.

31 January 2025

His lawyers informed the OSP that he was abroad indefinitely for medical reasons and offered to represent him in his absence.

5 February 2025

The OSP rejected the claim of indefinite absence and demanded a firm return date by 10 February 2025, warning of legal consequences. It also reminded that legal representatives cannot respond to criminal charges on behalf of clients.

10 February 2025

His lawyers submitted a doctor’s note (not addressed to any specific party), indicating he was undergoing tests and possibly surgery, with no clear return date.

12 February 2025

With no further cooperation, the OSP declared Mr. Ofori-Atta a fugitive from justice, acting on an arrest warrant.

 

18 February 2025

Mr. Ofori-Atta appealed to the OSP for removal from the ‘Wanted List’ and, for the first time, provided a definite return date in May 2025. The OSP accepted this assurance and removed his name from the list.

Legal challenge

March 2025

Mr. Ofori-Atta filed a lawsuit against the OSP and the Special Prosecutor, seeking compensation for what he described as an unlawful declaration of him as wanted. He also requested the removal of related content from the OSP’s social media platforms.

28 March 2025

The Human Rights Court heard an interim application from Mr. Ofori-Atta, asking the court to restrain the OSP from declaring him wanted again.

Next steps

2 June 2025

Mr. Ofori-Atta was expected to report in person to the OSP headquarters.
