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 DID HE GO TO STASH SUCH AMOUNT OF MONEY IN A FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT ? DON'T WE HAVE BANKS IN GHANA ? HE SHOULD ALSO BE MADE TO DECLARE HOW MUCH MONEY HE HAD BEFORE TAKING THAT POLITICAL OFFICE OF MINISTER OF ECONOMICS. THERE SHOULD BE NO SYMPATHY FOR THIS CRIMINAL !!!
HIS COUSIN, EX-PRESIDENT, AKUFO ADDO, ALSO HAS OVER $900+ MILLION USA DOLLARS IN A FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNT. FROM WHERE AND HOW DID HE GET THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM ???? GHANA NEEDS ANOTHER VICIOUS COUP D'ETAT !!! OUR SOLDIERS SHOULD STAND UP AND DEFEND US, GHANAIANS.

FROM WHERE DID HE GET THAT OF MONEY, TO BE PAYING LAWYERS PER HOUR ?
ALL HIS PROPERTIES SHOULD BE CONFISCATED BY THE GHANA GOVERNMENT AND SOLD TO THE PUBLIC. PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF SUCH PROPERTIES SHOULD BE USED TO CONSTRUCT CLINICS AND PIPE-BORNE WATER FOR PEOPLE IN SMALL TOWNS AND VILLAGES, AS WELL AS REFURBISHING SCHOOL BUILDINGS. THEREAFTER, HE SHOULD BE JAILED FOR NOT LESS THAN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS--25 YEARS.

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 an "area man". In any case if you steal from the people and use legal technicalities to escape justice, in the court of God, there is no room for technicalities. It's just a matter of time.

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 sell his properties in Ghana to offset some of the money he owes. All of you are the same. By the time your government comes to an end most of you will do the same....run away from justice.

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, right? The charges of lawyers representing California lawyer Governor new some is $3000 an hour and they were kept for months and years on his case against the US government. The state if California has such rates so Ofori Atta retaining lawyers at such rates is not surprising but where did he get the money to retain them for months and years from? Also, if we have extradition understanding does he even have to have a condition to stop him from being handed over to Ghana? Please ex AG, stop preparing our minds for mediocrity. Go get him and if not let's scratch all extraditions. Period. Tired of our people selling out to white men all around...from freemason's to Christian preachers etc!!! Bullshit!
