A top official at the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Sammy Darko, has rubbished the medical report released by the legal team of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, describing it as a calculated move designed to sway public opinion rather than aid legitimate investigations.
Speaking to Citi News, Darko, who is the Director of Strategy, Research and Communication at the OSP, expressed strong skepticism about the authenticity and timing of the medical document, which was recently shared with sections of the media including Asaase Radio. "If you have this and you won't show this to the SP or the office, but you can share it with Asaase Radio-fake afterthought," he said bluntly, questioning the motive behind the public circulation of the letter while the Office had not officially received it.
His comments come in the wake of a leaked letter from the Mayo Clinic in the United States, purportedly authored by a medical officer overseeing Ofori-Atta's treatment.
The letter stated that the former minister had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and would be undergoing surgery in June 2025.
