The Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has assured the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, that former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta will make himself available for investigations.
Ofori-Atta has been in the U.S. for medical treatment since early 2025 after notifying the Chief of Staff.
On February 12, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) officially named him a suspect in four high-profile corruption investigations, including cases related to the National Cathedral project and Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML). The OSP also stated that the raid on his residence was staged.
During a press briefing, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng declared Ofori-Atta a wanted person, urging him to return immediately for questioning. He warned that failure to comply could lead to legal measures to compel his return.
Addressing Parliament on Thursday, February 13, Afenyo-Markin stated: “On February 13 morning, I had an extensive engagement with Ken Ofori-Atta. He’s traumatized by the labelling of this adjective [fugitive] described to his person. But he still knows that his God is with him. He is undergoing some medical procedures.
“Within a reasonable time, I’m sure he will come. I will also engage the Office of the Special Prosecutor, engage constructively, and assure him and his office that if there was any miscommunication, I, the leader of the Minority, am assuring him that the man will make himself available.
“He left the country with permission, he would come, and if there’s anything that has to be investigated, he will make himself available.”
