At the end of the day, part of the millions of stolen dollars is going back to where the money was borrowed as legal fees. Ken must surely see the inside of Nsawam!

The court of public opinion is truly skewed. Ken has not been tried an some people are calling him a thief. It is because of our tainted judicial system.

You're lying Ken Ofori Atta was tried in NDC Foolish Soldiers Propaganda Court and convicted for 50yrs. As for the crime he committed they will not tell us till they grab him and put him in EOCO cells for humiliation.

Why is he running away if he has not done anything wrong? Why is he willing to pay so much (judging from the quality of the lawyer he is hiring) to prevent his deportation to Ghana if he is innocent?

Subsidise petrol to reduce petrol cost not cedi dollar, it's still why things are so expensive. This is how China's economy grew.
Subsidise petrol to make it cost less, this will drive down prices and encourage alot and alot job creation, more consumer spend for you to make your money back through taxation.
Ghanaians will have alot to money left to save for projects.
It also strengthens the cedi against the dollar, inflation...so you don't need to artificially pump billions of dollars to create artificial strong cedi. Instead use it to subsidise petrol. Cedi will stabilise naturally.
5 yrs jail and a fine for smugglers. For benefit of Ghana and Ghanaians ONLY
They focused on dollar and not petrol and wonder why economy never worked.
You get 2 for 1 bargain..Ghana what are we doing struggling? lack of knowledge

Uncle Sam’s country does not work like that. It is a place of law and order. Even
Trump can’t deport him just like that before a legal justification. It is not like the AFRC and PNDC era of Rawlings. According to what I understand, Ofori Attah is undergoing medical treatment. Until he is declared fit by medical professionals, he can continue to live in the USA with his supposed stolen millions of USA Dollars. And do you think that the USA Government will deport him with such millions of USD? And if his son successfully gets Ken the Green Card, Ghana’s money is gone for good. I have known Ofori Attah since 1991 in Ghana, even as a secret of Rawlings and some top NPP and NDC members.
Ofori Attah could be the former Finance Minister of Ghana and does Uncle Sam care about that? Uncle Sam also has its Legal System that she will not make it subservient to the laws of Ghana. Ken is not a Felon to the USA and nothing will force him to be deported. Ghanaians should not worry because their millions of USD have gone with the winds. Ken and the USA Dollars are not coming to Ghana again. The Wintery Winds have blown them away.
Ken is free for now I’m the USA and with that huge amount of USD, he will be chilling around and nobody can deport him.

@ Frank Agyena Karikari

Are you mad? Why is Donald Trump fabricated trump up charges against James Comey the Former FBI Director and Leticia James? The Western world is the MOST CORRUPT DEMOCRACIES. Donald Trump has withdrawn the secirity protections of several USA government for Ministers and others through his abuse of power. Donald Trump illegally used the USA army to kidnap Nicolas Maduro. Donald Trump illegally deported Nigerians, Togolese etc etc to Ghana by force for the Ghana government to disperse them to their countries of birth through the back door. Abuse of power is every where in this world. US Congress at times vote on partisan lines just to tow the line even though they know the real truth but because of politics and selfish interest they keep quiet.

Get your facts right. ICE had confided in Ambassador Smith that, his Akyem cousin is medically fit to face justice. Ken's visa was revoked upon application by the Attorney General of Ghana. There's no way the US DOJ will permit him to vary his immigration status whilst an illegal immigrant, detained by ICE. Do you want us to believe that virtue of the fact that Ken has stolen millions, the US will grant him the rights to remain in the country because of his millions? Is Ken about to be the first millionaire to be convicted of immigration offences in the US? The US, like the developed West don't fawn wealthy individuals like the way we worship them in Africa. Once you are on the wrong side of the law, your billions or millions won't save your sorry arse.

You seem to forget that the Trump administration keeps shirking the law by refusing to follow court orders in the USA regarding its immigration arrests and its deployment of National Guard soldiers in States that Trump loathes. Funny that the NPP government can prosecute others for looting and other financial crimes, but when it comes to crooks like Ofori-Atta having to answer for their looting, the NPP condones its Finance Minister who ran to the USA to escape prosecution.

This same invincible, "me ntie obia'a" minister who treated his party and Ghanaians with such contempt that he even increased fuel prices the day before the 2024 elections now so humiliated in Trumpland! I bet his spirit has even vanished.
What kind of life awaits him in Trumpland? By now, he has painfully realised that money is not everything. He's an akyem man after all. He probably loves his akrantier and snail abunu-abunu. He has to kiss all that goodbye!
In Ghana, the Asantehene himself attended the wedding of the daughter of Koofori. Nobody will care about him in Trumpland. He will die everyday he lives.
His handcuffs will be firmly inprinted on the minds of Ghanaian politicians for ever.
For those reasons alone Ghana has won even if he is able to avoid deportation.

Ofori-Atta has the privilege to live his life wherever he chooses without any hindrance. However, he needs to come back to Ghana to account for his stewardship as the ex-minister. Why is he making it look like he doesn't want to come back to Ghana? Of course he wants to settle in Ghana to run his business. Shamefully, he has enough money to hire powerful lawyers to defend him. His own party MPs asked for his removal and incompetent, corrupt and nepotistic Akkufo-Addo adamantly and callously refused, and now Ghanaians are literally being forced to debate this issue in our national conversation.

The judicial system in Ghana is very corrupt so Ken Ofori Atta is not going to get justice. The corrupt NDC government has planned to destroy his reputation by jailing him so he is not coming to Ghana period

Nothing but a waste of looted Ghana money on a lawyer to fight a case that this looting Ofori-Atta knows he has no chance of winning. The USA should not allow itself to be a place of refuge for thieving Ghana politicians. Ofori-Atta was lying about being sick while making plans to adjust his USA immigration status as a way of frustrating any attempt by the Ghana government to have him extradited back to Ghana. The same courts that Ofori-Atta's NPP government used to prosecute politicians charged with looting are the same courts that will be trying Ofori-Atta should he be brought back to Ghana. He therefore can't claim that the Ghana courts will not accord him a fair trial.
