An application by former Finance Minister Kenneth Ofori-Atta to prevent the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from sending out a "wanted" notice has been dismissed by the Human Rights Court.
Ofori-Atta had sought the court to prevent the OSP from publicly announcing his wanted status because he is now the subject of several investigations by the OSP and other state agencies for alleged misbehavior during his tenure.
His lawyers contended that doing so would violate his rights and jeopardize current judicial processes.
The OSP is now able to proceed with its public notice and search procedures if needed after the court rejected the application.
