Ghana's Ex-MP Urges Court Action in Ken Ofori-Atta Case, Citing Politicization

Accra, Ghana – June 3, 2025 – Former Anyaa Sowutuom Member of Parliament, Dickson Amoako Kissi, has urged Ghana's Special Prosecutor to pursue the Ken Ofori-Atta case through the courts, rather than engaging in public debate. In an interview with Channel One TV's Breakfast Daily program, Kissi expressed concern that the case is becoming overly politicized, hindering a fair and just legal process. "Turn down the TV noise — this isn’t a court of public opinion," Kissi stated, emphasizing the need for a thorough legal investigation. He used the Airbus case as an example of how similar cases can be stalled or even dismissed due to political influence. Kissi's comments highlight the ongoing tension between the legal system and public discourse in Ghana, underscoring the importance of upholding the integrity of the judicial process.
