Former Finance Minister, Kenneth Ofori-Atta, will not be appearing before the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) today, June 2, due to a reported deterioration in his health, his legal team has confirmed.
According to lead counsel Frank Davies, the OSP has been formally notified of Mr. Ofori-Atta’s medical condition, supported by relevant documentation, and the same has been brought to the attention of the Human Rights Court.
This development comes amid growing public and media speculation, with some outlets suggesting that the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, could reissue a warrant declaring Mr. Ofori-Atta wanted.
However, Frank Davies has dismissed such suggestions as “highly irregular,” especially considering the pending ruling by the Human Rights Court on June 18.
The former minister has already filed a motion contesting the legality of the OSP’s previous declaration and seeking the removal of such notices from public platforms.
Meanwhile, sources close to the legal team reveal that Mr. Ofori-Atta remains open to cooperation with the OSP and has proposed an electronic interview in line with the Electronic Transactions Act.
Medical records submitted to the court reportedly include upcoming surgical procedures, emphasizing the seriousness of his condition.
The OSP itself acknowledged the ongoing legal proceedings via a post on its official X platform on May 28, affirming the adjournment of the court’s ruling to June 18, 2025.
