The AG appears not confident in facing these lawyers and Ghana ...

You're fool. Sedinam was a criminal, so was ofori atta. How much did ofori atta give you out of his crime?

Repent and stop your attacks against Islam.
You are so funny. An accused person is innocent until proven guilty by a competent law court so on what basis do you conclude that accused Ofori Atta has stolen money? Seminar on the other hand, was proven guilty by a court o ...

Ken Ofori Atta, I believe hired some experts who helped him loot the nation.
He is an expert criminal and thinks he is smart enough.
Half the cost burden of the nation's borrowed money is in his account.
He is a cabal e ...

There is a big difference between criminals and POLITICAL criminals.
Who told you Ofori Atta has stolen any money. The thieves are John Mahama and Opuni
No wonder your name is Fool.
The dude Ken Ofori Atta already has some money accumulated from the Akufo Addo Bawumia family and friends government such that they can afford to pay whatever it cost to pay for any attorney of law in the USA
You are a fool.. What money has he stolen? Do you know the top places Ken worked be that cheap job as minister? What justice is this.. Closing corruption cases of NDC thieves and running after others with cooked up lies....
NDC is after Ken’s assets because they made a promise to their crooners the banking sector looter.
If anything at all let’s remember how people were not able to access their hard earned money at the banks when NPP came i ...

Ghanaians are interested in how much the NDC Attorney General is fighting to retrieve from Ofori-Atta.
The NDC Attorney General is beating about the bush.
If the AG fail to bring down Ken Ofori Atta, he shd blame himself with the way he organised his press conferences, with NDC Supporters around clapping for him.The American lawyers will read political meaning into his trail.
Nonsense. Who is a top lawyer? Look! We are not kids or people with shallow minded. The osp is the main cause of ofori atta ran away. He must resign.
I am beginning to have doubts as to the seriousness of this AG.
Inexperienced and politics have destroyed Dr Ayine's case with Ken Ofori Atta. NDC failed to recognise the fact that the American & British courts have an issue surrounding President Mahama on Airbus SE bribery case. To the A ...

Paul Yandoh is a mad dog!
Ofori Atta is an impotent and incontinent thief!
Still you won't get him eeeeeeeeeee eeeeeee
Attorney General stop the talking and prepare your case to the court. Lawyers charging Ofori Atta is not your concern
Always selling yourselves to the western countries and the public. Danduru
As to how he is going to pay his US lawyers is that a problem to you AG.
You cannot bring him back home to serve his jail terms. Since when has someone been extradited to come and serve his or her jail terms. Let us have o ...

The AG never talked about fees in his presser. He only said he has been told the man has hired top lawyers in the US to defend him. It is Ghanaweb that is estimating the likely cost Ken will incur!
Why is AG concerned about the fact that his lawyers are top lawyers. The AG is obviously afraid. What is the basis of Ghanaweb's estimates? In America, such legal services can be free of charge.
Lol...wow you are naive
NDC, MOYE HUUUU KWA. OFORI ATTA WILL NOT COME TO GHANA
MARK IT ON THE WALL.
Are you a Ghanaian? I don't think so. Why do you make this a partisan issue. I know why we're still the wretched of the earth.
This AG is the most silly ugly stupid AG so far, i wish this position given to Zanetor Rawlings because if US can lead their officials to arrest Ghanaian fraudsters why can't Ghana operate same action to bring this Akyem crim ...

GHANAIANS WANT TO KEN OFORI ATTA EXTRADITED TO GHANA WITHOUT DELAY. HE SHOULD COME AND EXPLAIN TO GHANAIANS, HOW HE CAME ABOUT THAT AMOUNT OF OVER $450 MILLION USA DOOLARS IN A FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT. IF IT WASN'T STOLEN, WHY ...

Kasapreko indeed!!
You talk as if you're drunk.
Unbelievable they still the poor African peoples money and they run and hide in the western countries and they refuse to extradite them back to Africa to face the law.
Why because the money they stole are kept in the west
Ofori Atta running away from accountability will be used as campaign message against the NPP.
Very wicked Akyem and NPP party. Now you are no more sick but engaged lawyers to fight your extradition warrant. Wow. And President Trump and the FBI are there looking. Ablakwa should take note of this and stop cooperating wi ...

The man who was working for free is now paying NOT to come back. what has changed?
So what about sediman tamakloe why don't you bring her too I'm not supporting Ken but you're trying to him what about her and she is the first to runaway so bring both of them and follow the rules
My friend take your propaganda away what is your responsibility on this issue balony
In this sense, let's put a hold on any Ghanaian that has to be extradited to the USA.
The AG has no case.
Confiscate all his belongins until he comes back to Ghana
He can easily pay. Why? The 1.5% Transaction advisor fee he took from every loan Ghana contracted will take care of his legal fees with plenty money still in his pocket. I thought Ken ofori atta was a man, not knowing he was ...

Ofori Atta has become a political refugee in the USA.
He has chop "eduro" in the United States. Tnx.
Mr Attorney General, you're just going to waste tax payers money for nothing. There's no way America will extradite this guy. Even if it's going to be possible, it will take years by which time NDC may not be in power. So let ...

In other words, Ghanaian lawyers could charge clients at least. $500 an hour all the way up to $3000 to fight extradition cases of Ghanaian criminals or any other criminals to either delay or stop their extradition to the US ...

Stop the Extradition process & live him to his faith/ conscience.
We must propagate how Npp steals money & run away from the Country.
Ghanaians now know him & the party well well.

NDC Attorney General is afraid of the USA lawyers.
Ghanaians should not expect the Coming To Ghana
All we shall soon hear is, NOLLE PROSEQUI
Oh Dear Ghana, he is paying with your money!!
If Ken has hired top US lawyers and could be paying that much and so what ?????
Seriously we don't need this information. All what Ghanaians want is that he should come and account for his stewardship
What is the need for this article. The talk is too much. We need results seeing we have our money back from the thieves.
And so .. .?
It's well within his rights Otani Attorney General. Learn about the law( constitution).
I'm npp guy and I fully want our former finance minister Ken ofori atta brought to Ghana to face eoco and osp, what is he hiding?
Is good we kicked these thieves out of power. We must equally force them to leave Ghana. They are thieves with no manners and dignity who ruled us with their foolishness, gross mismanagement and gross stupidity. They have loo ...

Why don't you register old cars on dates when they renew their roadworthy certificates? If my roadworthy is supposed to be renewed in February, must I come again after April to re-register?
What is Ofori-Atta running away from? If he has not done anything wrong, why would he be hiring the so-called top lawyers to defend him? If Ofori-Atta has conscience, then he should be ashamed of himself.
Dr Ayine, don’t you think and know that, there
are some other folks or friends who can come
into his Aid without charging him. Hey, Ayine,
you do not deserve this public office.
Ayine, you hate and Scare Ken Ofori Atta

Absolute rubbish.
The NPP should be very , very worried about this Ken Oforita matter because that issue alone will keep them in opposition forever.
Cut out the BS!
Ayine are you serious at all. You just want to cover your shame for not able to prosecute anyone as you brag before and after giving that position. Ofori Ata is in USA what of Adu and the rest. A BIG SHAME TO YOU.
so this is Ghana AG talking as if he a class 2 pupil; are you saying you don't have a case and now afraid the top US lawyers will expose and embarrass you for world to see your incompetence?
This ken ofori atta needs to be burn in jail. You collapsed banks, mensgold. Stolen retirement funds for retired workers, numerous taxes on Ghanaians, stolen so much money to himself and took soo much loans without paying bac ...

Ghanaians should punish NPP at the polls if Ken Ofori-Attah refuse to return
NPP you are defending Ofori Atta left right center. If he hasn't done anything wrong why is he hiring expensive lawyers to defend him. I think your party should ask him to come home if he has nothing to hide. You see how KARM ...

The wife said Mr. Ofori Attah is fighting to survive prostate cancer or something close. He needs our sympathy and prayers. Why is he fighting extradition now?What is he really fighting? Madam are you a lier?
so why then come tell the whole world you not scared?
OFORI ATTA CAN EVEN HIRE ARCH-ANGELS FROM AMERICA OR HELL, HE WILL BE BROUGHT TO GHANA TO FACE PROSECUTION AND IF GUILTY HE WOULD BE JAILED.
makes no sense to hear the AG make useless noise about what lawyers Ofori-Atta may have retained in the USA. Nor do Ghanaians care to hear that the AG is not afraid of Ofori-Atta's lawyers. The AG should rather be conferring ...

Ken needs hanging
This is nonsense and needless to us. Is it your business ? Your business is to prosecute corrupt officials but not to tell us how much a respondent is hiring legal defences. AG must stop blowing hot air these days.
