The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has discredited a purported medical report suggesting that former Finance Minister, Mr Kenneth Ofori-Atta, is medically unfit to travel. The office has stated categorically that it has not received any such report from Mr Ofori-Atta or his legal representatives.
The disputed document, dated 14 May 2025 and purportedly signed by Dr Ahmed Abdalrhim—an internal medicine specialist with the Section of International Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, USA—surfaced online in recent days. It allegedly explains Mr Ofori-Atta’s inability to honour a scheduled meeting with the OSP on 2 June 2025.
However, in a statement issued on Tuesday, 3 June, the OSP made it clear that no official medical report had been submitted to its office regarding Mr Ofori-Atta’s health condition.
“We wish to place on record that neither Mr Ofori-Atta nor his lawyers have submitted any such letter to the OSP,” the statement said.
According to the OSP, the only formal communication from Mr Ofori-Atta’s legal team was a letter indicating a change in his medical condition—without any supporting medical documentation.
The OSP expressed concern about the circulation of the alleged medical report through the media rather than through official legal or investigative channels.
“It is notable that this alleged hospital letter has been circulated through the media rather than submitted to the law enforcement agency actively investigating him and responsible for decisions regarding his return to Ghana,” the OSP stated.

The Office reiterated that, to date, it has not received any certified medical records from a recognised medical institution to validate claims that Mr Ofori-Atta is unfit to travel.
Mr Ofori-Atta is currently under investigation by the Special Prosecutor in connection with alleged corruption-related offences.
The emergence and timing of the disputed medical report have raised eyebrows in both legal and political circles, prompting the OSP to formally distance itself from the document and publicly question its authenticity.
