Nana Akomea, the former Chief Executive of InterCity State Transport Corporation, has urged the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, to handle the case of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta with sympathy.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor has re-declared Ken Ofori-Atta “wanted.”
At a press conference on Monday, June 2, 2025, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng stated that his office had been informed by the former minister’s lawyers that he has cancer.
However, Ghana’s Special Prosecutor indicated that he has not received any medical report confirming Ofori-Atta’s health condition.
Speaking on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” show, Nana Akomea argued that Ken Ofori-Atta’s health condition is no secret, questioning why the Special Prosecutor would make a fuss about the issue.
“By declaring him [Ofori-Atta] wanted, what’s next? Does it mean you won’t send him to court?” he asked.
He added, “So, if he doesn’t return for two or three years, does it mean he remains wanted but won’t be taken to court? The OSP should have been patient because we all know Ofori-Atta is ill.”
He urged Kissi Agyebeng to remain calm, stressing, “He should be a bit more sympathetic with Ken Ofori-Atta.”
