Dr Justice Srem-Sai, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana School of Law and Deputy Attorney General-designate, has described the Office of the Special Prosecutor's (OSP) decision to declare former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a fugitive as excessively harsh.
Contributing to a discussion on JoyNews' *Newsfile* programme on Saturday, 15th February, he expressed concern about the implications of such a move, particularly on Ofori-Atta's legal rights and international standing. "Declaring someone a fugitive is a serious business.
It is not a decision that should be taken lightly, as it has far-reaching consequences," Dr Srem-Sai stated.
He noted that such a declaration could trigger international efforts to compel the individual's return, affecting their freedom of movement and reputation.
