 Ghana Declares Ex-Finance Minister Ofori-Atta Wanted for Corruption


Ghana’s former finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, has been declared wanted by the country’s Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) over corruption allegations. Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng accused him of causing financial loss to the state and warned that authorities would enforce his return if he failed to return voluntarily.


Ofori-Atta, who served under ex-President Nana Akufo-Addo, allegedly authorized the release of $58 million in state funds for the controversial National Cathedral project, despite initial claims it would be privately funded. He is also accused of approving $11.8 million at the request of the presidential chief of staff, even though the cathedral project has been stalled for two years.


Additionally, the former minister is linked to a disputed $83 million contract between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML), allegedly made without proper approval.


Anti-corruption groups, including the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), have called for his prosecution, and the OSP is now leading legal action against him. Ofori-Atta’s whereabouts remain unknown as authorities intensify efforts to bring him to justice.
