Private legal practitioner Andrew Appiah Danquah has questioned the timing of the decision of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to chase after former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

He argued that the OSP was established to tackle corrupt government appointees whether incumbent or past.

To that end, he expressed surprise that  Mr Ofori-Atta was not questioned two years ago when the Akufo-Addo administration was in place.

Speaking on the New Day show on TV3, Appiah Danquah said "Why didn't the OSP have the courage to take action 2 or 3 years ago?
