Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has responded to the ongoing controversy surrounding his name and the investigations by Ghana's Special Prosecutor, expressing shock and disappointment at recent developments.
In an open letter shared on social media, Ofori-Atta addressed the public, stating, "I have been in the news recently in quite a dramatic manner. "I thought it important that I share with you the facts surrounding recent events and news articles concerning me and Ghana's Special Prosecutor.
I am as puzzled and dismayed, as I suspect you must be." According to him, the sequence of events began while he was outside the country seeking medical care. "I was out of the country on January 24, for medical reasons, when the Special Prosecutor invited me to an in-person meeting for Feb 10, 2025, in connection with four 'corruption and corruption-related cases'.
I was not the originating nor implementing Minister in any of these portfolios," he clarified.
