Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta's legal team has pushed back against the Office of the Special Prosecutor's (OSP) decision to declare him a fugitive, insisting that the move was unwarranted. "That should not have taken place in the first place.
If you look at the series of correspondence between the OSP and lawyers for Mr.
Ken Ofori-Atta, it was evident that the parties were having communications and were discussing possible dates for the investigation or for his attendance," Bright Okyere Agyekum, a member of Ofori-Atta's legal team, said during an interview on TV3's Agenda show.
According to him, the ongoing communication between both parties meant there was no basis for declaring Ofori-Atta a fugitive. "The parties had not concluded their deliberations, so with a little more time, they would have settled on what they settled on today [the returning date].
