    If the attorney General rather than holding press conferences successfully prosecuted the members of the previous government accused of malfeasance, then the US could have ruled out political prosecution and possibly repatr ...

    But what has his ICE detention got to do with his extradition? Why are you naive supporters interpreting his released from detention to mean he has been exonerated from all criminal charges, including his crimes at home and e ...

    Happy retirement Ken. Even a new born baby knows the clueless NDC case against you was witch hunting. Enjoy your USA stay to the fullest.

    That is the beginning of his freedom. Our so-called scholars sit in their offices and talk blablabla and forget what to do and the end result is what is coming to happen. Ofori Atta will never come to Ghana. He will choose t ...

  • WHY REFUSE TO COME HOME? - ghanawatch 1 day ago

    Are you congratulating a thief? Why is he refusing to return to Ghana to defend himself? Justice awaits him. Perhaps he will die in America and be buried there.

  • Karikakchar 1 day ago

    You should know why he's not returning. Just arrest him in Rambo style and just humiliate him when you know you can't prosecute him successfully despite having an NDC CJ.

    Akyakanapaya, you are only crying foul. Ofori Atta will never come back to Ghana. The person you have to attack in Ghana is Akuffo Addo who who advised and assisted him to escape.

  • WHY REFUSE TO COME HOME? - ghanawatch 1 day ago

    Come home to defend yourself if you have nothing to hide. This is not a political persecution. You will defend yourself before a legally constituted court.

  • FACT 1 day ago

    No lawcourt in Ghana has pronounced Ken Ofori-Atta guilty on any crime and so those accusing him as such should count themselves and be ready for the legal consequences when the time is ripe.
    The OSP can proceed to court and ...

    The Ewes fear to steal government money and that is the main reason why they are always poor like a church mouse. Akans don't fear. 'Wo suro a, won di'.

  • UNP 1 day ago

    How stupid you sound. Did Ghana file any immigration case against Ofori Ata? Ofori Ata broke US ICE immigration and was detained. Ghana has sent an extradition request which has nothing to do with his breaking of ICE rules.

    Shame on all those NDCeivers. Enemies are not God. Only God's purposes shall prevail. OSP can go ahead and try Ofori-Atta in absentia. He is not coming for you crooks to manhandle him. Period.

  • Kwamina 1 day ago

    They can come here and pick Ghanaians for prosecution but are not willing to release our criminals for prosecution in Ghana. Are we a nation state or a Banana Republic which they don't respect.

    My question is, if the NDC has a case against Ken Ofori Atta why doesn't trial him in absentia.? This shows the NDC tribal and political witch hunt. Baseless press conferences by OSP.
