The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has refuted the assertion that it declared former Minister of Finance, Kenneth Ofori-Atta wanted without a warrant.
Kenneth Ofori-Atta has been placed on INTERPOL's Red Notice for failing to appear at the OSP as earlier scheduled, to answer questions regarding his alleged involvement in graft, including the controversial ambulance deal and the National Cathedral.
Speaking on JoyNews' NewsFile on June 7, 2025, the Director of Strategy, Research and Communication at the OSP, Samuel Darko, said that the OSP secured an arrest warrant for Ofori-Atta in February 2025. "Before we declare someone wanted, we will go for a warrant from a court of law.
So, it's not true that the OSP just issued a warrant… I think somewhere in February, that's when we went for the warrant for Mr Ofori-Atta," he said.
