Private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu has explained why embattled former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, cannot have his lawyers represent him in his case against the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

The OSP has officially declared former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a suspect in four high-profile corruption investigations, including cases related to the National Cathedral project, Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML), and two other cases.

Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, February 12, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng stated that Ofori-Atta is now a wanted person and must return to Ghana immediately to face questioning.

It has emerged that the former minister is abroad receiving medical treatment and is expected to return to the country in March.
