The family of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has disclosed that he will return to Ghana to respond to the Special Prosecutor’s investigation following a scheduled surgery on June 13.
Mr. Ofori-Atta is currently the subject of an investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and has been placed on an INTERPOL Red Notice.
In a statement, his family accused the OSP of overstepping its mandate and pursuing what they described as a “premeditated vendetta” against the former minister.
They condemned the issuance of the Red Notice, calling it a breach of due process, constitutional rights, and international legal standards.
The family further disclosed that they have formally petitioned both Ghana’s National Central Bureau and INTERPOL’s Commission for the Control of Files (CCF), demanding the immediate removal of the notice. They argue that the Red Notice was issued based on manipulated evidence and the concealment of critical medical information.
