The lawyers for former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta have responded to the Office of Special Prosecutor after he declared their client a fugitive fleeing justice.
In contrast to the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng’s position, the lawyers have revealed that their client is undergoing medical observation and tests, with treatment plans still being finalised.
The lawyers in their response said the former minister was unaware of the OSP’s initial letter, as it was left at his security post while he was out of the country.
According to them, Mr. Ofori-Atta informed both former Chief of Staff Akosua Frema Osei-Opare and current Chief of Staff Julius Debrah about his medical trip earlier in January.
They have therefore assured the OSP of their preparedness to provide further details to support their position.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially identified former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta as a suspect in four high-profile corruption cases.
According to the OSP, these cases include the National Cathedral project, Strategic Mobilisation Limited (SML), and two other cases.
