Ghana Seeks Extradition of Former Finance Minister Amid Corruption Probe

Ghana's Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, announced today the initiation of legal proceedings against former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta. Agyebeng stated at a press conference, “The principle upon which we proceed is that no person regardless of title, status or medical condition is beyond the reach of enquiry by the OSP.” The OSP has issued an Interpol Red Notice for Ofori-Atta's arrest and extradition to face corruption charges. This action underscores the commitment to accountability and the pursuit of justice, regardless of the individual's previous position. The legal processes initiated demonstrate a serious approach to addressing alleged corruption within the Ghanaian government.
