News Hub Creator27min
Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni expressed his satisfaction that Ken Ofori-Atta is being pursued over the SML scandal. His remarks follow the Special Prosecutor’s announcement that Ofori-Atta is now a suspect in four major corruption investigations, including the National Cathedral project and the SML case.
During a press briefing, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng confirmed that Ofori-Atta is wanted for questioning and must return to Ghana immediately. He warned that legal action would be taken if he fails to comply and denied reports of an OSP raid on Ofori-Atta’s home.
Manasseh Azure Awuni responded by stating that the SML scandal “stinks” and expressed his approval of the OSP’s decision to investigate. He added, “I’m happy Ken Ofori-Atta is being pursued to come and answer.”
The OSP’s move represents a significant step in the ongoing fight against corruption, as it seeks to hold public officials accountable for alleged financial misconduct.Â
The SML controversy came to light in April, when an investigation by The Fourth Estate uncovered irregularities in contracts between SML, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ghana Revenue Authority, revealing discrepancies in SML’s claims regarding its services.
