The Government of Ghana's efforts to haul in former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, to account for his stewardship in the Nana Akufo-Addo-led administration, have received a boost following indications by sources at the US Department of Justice and FBI that the pursuit cannot amount to a witch-hunt.
Sources at the US Embassy in Accra have told Myjoyonline.com that the principal federal law enforcement agency has satisfied itself that what Ken Ofori-Atta is being requested to respond to in Ghana is legitimate and has nothing to do with witch-hunting.
Foreign nationals in the United States who claim persecution or political witch-hunting by their home governments may seek legal protection through various mechanisms under U.S.
immigration law and international human rights obligations.
