The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially named former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a suspect in four high-profile corruption investigations, including those involving the National Cathedral project, Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML), and two other cases.

Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, February 12, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng announced that Ofori-Atta is now a wanted person and must return to Ghana immediately to be questioned.

He warned that failing to cooperate would result in action to demand his return.

Agyebeng rejected accusations that Ofori-Atta had left the country for medical treatment, insisting that the former minister participate with current investigations.

He also denied claims that OSP authorities had raided Ofori-Atta's home on Tuesday, February 11.

Instead, Agyebeng said that the raid was organized by the former minister to mislead the public and undermine the OSP's investigations.

The OSP's recent move represents a significant advance in the fight against corruption, as the office steps up attempts to hold public officials accountable for alleged financial malfeasance.
