“Has the OSP gone to where Mr. Ofori-Atta is and he is not there?” Gyampo asked during a recent appearance on TV3’s Key Points.
His remarks came amid a growing dispute over Ofori-Atta’s failure to attend a scheduled interrogation by the OSP.
In response, Dr. Joshua Zaato, a fellow panelist, suggested that state security could take matters into their own hands.
“National Security can go to Mayo Clinic to find out if he is there,” Zaato proposed, adding that passport tracking could also help determine Ofori-Atta’s location.
The conflict escalated after Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng placed Ofori-Atta on the wanted list for missing a scheduled meeting on June 2.
Agyebeng emphasized that illness should not be an excuse for evading accountability unless it is certified as incapacitating.
In defense, Ofori-Atta’s wife, Angela, dismissed claims that her husband was avoiding accountability.
“Ken does not run away from accountability,” she said, explaining that he has been undergoing cancer treatment.
She further stated that he had offered to engage via video call or have his lawyers respond on his behalf.
The former Finance Minister is under investigation for several high-profile cases, including the National Cathedral and the Ghana Revenue Authority.
