Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has strongly defended his public service record, emphasizing that he has always served Ghana with integrity, candor, and dedication to the national interest.
In an open letter dated February 26, 2025, Ofori-Atta addressed ongoing criminal investigations against him by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), describing the events as both puzzling and dismaying.
Amid his response to the probe, he took the opportunity to reflect on his 40 years of public and professional life, insisting that his actions have consistently aligned with the best interests of Ghana and Africa. "As you know, I have worked with candor and forthrightness in my personal and professional life these past forty years.
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," Ofori-Atta stated in the letter.
