Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta is expected to return to Ghana between May 14 and 30, 2025, following a medical assessment abroad, according to Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
His statement, made in Parliament on February 18, 2025, comes after the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) declared Ofori-Atta wanted in connection with multiple corruption-related investigations. The OSP had urged the public to assist in locating his whereabouts.
Afenyo-Markin, citing a letter from Ofori-Atta’s legal team, confirmed that the former minister remains committed to appearing before the OSP upon his return.
“Taking into account surgical dates from March 20 to 21 and his recuperation period, he should be able to return between May 14 and 30, 2025,” the letter stated.
The OSP’s charges against Ofori-Atta include his role in the Strategic Mobilisation-GRA contract, termination of the ECG-BXC contract, payments related to the National Cathedral, and the procurement of ambulances.
Meanwhile, the OSP has removed Ofori-Atta from its wanted list, rescheduling his questioning based on his confirmed return date. The case remains a significant test of Ghana’s financial accountability and governance.
