Ofori-Atta's Media Silence: A Challenge to Transparency

Accra, Ghana – June 10, 2025 – A recent video by Channel One TV has ignited a debate surrounding the former finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, and his communication with the public. Larry Dogbey, Managing Editor of the Herald Newspaper, challenges Ofori-Atta to engage with the media directly, noting the contrast between his virtual appearance before the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and his avoidance of media interviews. "If Ken Ofori-Atta can appear virtually before the OSP, he can do the same with the media to tell his side of the story," Dogbey stated. The video also explores the authenticity of a petition submitted by Ofori-Atta's family, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. The discussion highlights the ongoing tension and the public's desire for transparency in political matters. The incident underscores the importance of open communication between public figures and the media in a democratic society.
