Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has defended his tenure at the Finance Ministry, insisting that he always acted in Ghana's best interest.
In his first public reaction to his legal standoff with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Mr.
Ofori-Atta addressed the matter in an open letter dated February 26. "As you know, I have worked with candor and forthrightness in my personal and professional life these past forty years," he stated. "As the longest-serving Finance Minister in this Republic (2017 to 2024) and encountering the most far-reaching existential crises in our lifetime, I have always acted in the best interests of Ghana and Africa, and will continue to do so." He expressed frustration over recent developments with the OSP, describing the situation as both perplexing and distressing, and emphasized the need to set the record straight.
His response follows an OSP-issued wanted notice against him, which was later revoked.
