The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has re-declared former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta a wanted man.

According to the OSP, processes for an Interpol red notice to be issued for his arrest has been initiated.

The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, at a press conference on Monday evening stated that the OSP's patience with Mr. Ofori-Atta has run out, following what he described as repeated delays and noncompliance with ongoing criminal investigations against him.

“This office has always requested his attendance, and we have indicated clearly to him that we are unwilling to waive it. If we were amenable to taking any statement from Ken Ofori-Atta in absentia, we would have done so in February, and not waited till June 2, 2025.

“We want him here physically, and we insist on it. A suspect in a criminal investigation does not pick and choose how the investigative body conducts its investigations and the methods suitable to him and his convenience. We will not countenance this conduct, not in this case.”

On Monday morning, Frank Davies one of the legal representatives of Mr Ofori-Atta had indicated that Mr Ofori-Atta had requested a virtual meeting with the OSP since he was unable to travel back to the jurisdiction for medical reasons.
