Ken Ofori-Atta is a former Minister of Finance who is being investigated by the OSP
The family of former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, has expressed confidence in his innocence, saying they believe he will be vindicated once the investigations are fully completed.
In a press statement released on Monday, June 10, 2025, and signed by the family, they expressed optimism that once the dust settles, their relative will be acquitted and the public will see the outcome for themselves.
“We are confident that Mr Ofori-Atta’s rights will be restored and when these investigations are completed, he will be acquitted in full view of our entire nation and justice will find the Hamans,” the statement said.
The family’s statement further went on to provide a possible timeline for Ofori-Atta’s return, indicating that he will avail himself in person for accountability once his surgical procedure, necessary treatment, and his recovery process have been done and he is fully recovered.
“Once Mr Ofori-Atta’s surgical procedure is over and the necessary treatment and recuperation has taken place, he will return to Ghana at the appropriate time and meet with the OSP in-person,” they continued.
They also reiterated Ofori-Atta’s commitment to the principles of accountability, citing his tenure at the finance ministry as a period during which he demonstrated transparency in his dealings and cooperated fully with legal inquiries and state investigations.
The family noted that previous allegations made against him were all dismissed by investigative and law enforcement bodies after painstaking investigations, emphasising his willingness to engage with the authorities throughout the process.
“We would like to further reiterate that since his appointment as Minister for Finance in 2017, Kenneth Ofori-Atta has consistently demonstrated transparency and respect in response to all legal inquiries and state investigations, including Parliamentary Censure. In each instance, the allegations have been thoroughly examined and unequivocally disproven. This includes cases adjudicated by CHRAJ, the ECOWAS Court of Justice and the Parliament of Ghana,” it said.
The statement added; “Throughout these proceedings, Mr Ofori-Atta remained engaged and transparent with the relevant authorities. His longstanding history of openness and cooperation underscores his commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity. Any claims suggesting that Mr Ofori-Atta is fleeing justice are out of character, preposterous and simply not true.”
