Former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta has stated that he has always acted in the best interest of Ghana in the discharge of his duties.

Reflecting on his tenure as Ghana’s longest-serving finance minister in an open letter on social media, Ofori-Atta reiterated his dedication to national service.

“As the longest-serving Finance Minister in this Republic (2017–2024) and having encountered the most far-reaching existential crises in our lifetime, I have always acted in the best interests of Ghana and Africa and will continue to do so.”

Regarding his issues with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Ofori-Atta stated that the situation has improved significantly.

“We are in a much better position now. The Majority Leader apologized on the floor of Parliament for the raid on my home by national security personnel. The Special Prosecutor has rescinded his declaration and proposed a June meeting.”

Despite the tension that previously surrounded the case, the former minister remains hopeful that his legal team will have the opportunity to engage with the OSP and bring the issue to a swift conclusion.

“I pray that the Special Prosecutor will agree to meet with my legal team so we can respond to his investigation into the now five cases, in order to resolve the situation expeditiously—well before the June appointment.”

He concluded his statement with a note of gratitude, “I thank you for your friendship and support over the years, the professional work we have done together, and our ongoing commitment to the urgent task of building a just society and promoting our shared humanity.”
