Ghana's former Minister of Finance, , was declared wanted by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, at a press briefing in Accra, disclosed that the former finance minister, who served for over seven years under the government of former President , is a suspect in several investigations related to corruption and corruption-related offences.
He stated that all attempts to get Ofori-Atta, who is currently outside Ghana, to appear before investigators have proven futile, hence the decision to declare him wanted.
The OSP's investigations have implicated the former minister in corruption and corruption-related offences linked to the construction of the National Cathedral of Ghana, the revenue assurance deal between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML), and the cancellation of a contract with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
