A member of Ken Ofori-Atta’s legal team, Frank Davies, has questioned the motive of the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) in its handling of the case involving the former Finance Minister.

His comment is in response to the OSP’s recent warning to Ken Ofori-Atta, stating that he would be re-listed as a wanted person if he fails to appear for questioning on June 2, 2025.

Mr Davies questioned the Special Prosecutor’s insistence on publicising the matter when there was already an agreement in place for Ofori-Atta to appear in June.

He further argued that Ofori-Atta’s reasons for being outside the country had been properly communicated through official channels and questioned why the OSP would not wait for the agreed date.

“Our client is still outside. Is he not outside for a reason? Has that reason not been made known to the Special Prosecutor through exchange of correspondence? What else should be done? You have agreed that the man should come on the second of June. Why didn’t you wait for that day? Why this indecent rush?” he asked.

He suggested that the OSP’s actions were in bad faith and unprofessional.

“You have engaged with the man. Who is telling the OSP that he is fleeing from prosecution when there is an agreement for June 2? That date is two months away. Has the Special Prosecutor turned into a soothsayer or a magician?” he queried.

Mr Davies also expressed disappointment over what he described as unnecessary public engagements instead of legal responses.

According to him, the OSP had already been served with an originating notice of motion and should focus on addressing the legal process rather than making public statements.

“My disappointment is sinking each and every day. The OSP has conceded that the process has been duly served. As a trained lawyer in such an esteemed office, what should he have done? Respond to the motion—not engage in knee-jerk reactions, showboating, and unnecessary press conferences,” he said.

The latest stance of the OSP comes after Ken Ofori-Atta filed a suit against him, seeking an injunction to prevent his reclassification as a wanted person.

His legal team argues that the OSP’s actions are baseless and unjustified, emphasising that he has cooperated with investigations through his lawyers. They claim that any attempt to label him a fugitive would be unfair and damaging to his reputation.

After the former Finance Minister assured authorities of his cooperation with ongoing corruption investigations, the OSP had previously removed his name from its wanted list in good faith.

In a statement responding to a lawsuit filed by Mr Ofori-Atta, challenging the OSP’s earlier decision to declare him a fugitive, the prosecuting authority reiterated its stance. According to the OSP, Mr Ofori-Atta had personally requested his removal from the wanted list, providing assurances that he would make himself available for questioning on a specific date.
