After being given permission by the court to travel overseas for a medical examination, the former CEO of MASLOC absconded and was tried in absentia. Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah claims that if Sedina Attionu Tamakloe is still at large, Ken Ofori-Atta will not use the OSP. Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah said on Atinka TV, “At the moment, we have Ken Ofori-Atta hiding in a room. We will swap them if the NDC brings Sedina Tamakloe. We won’t give Ken Ofori-Atta if the NDC won’t give Sedina the opportunity to face the law. No one in this nation is smarter than the NDC. Inform the Special Prosecutor that I will reimburse him if he orders for common sense. He hasn’t even won a single case in court, so the nation is merely wasting money on him,” he continued.
His remark follows the OSP’s denial of Ken Ofori-Atta’s request for a virtual session. Kissi Agyebeng asserts that Ken Ofori-Atta needs to physically visit the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). “This office has consistently asked for his attendance, and we have made it very clear to him that we are not willing to waive it,” Kissi Agyebeng continued. We would have done so in February rather than waiting until June 2, 2025, if we were willing to take any statement from Ken Ofori-Atta in absentia. We insist on having him physically present. A suspect in a criminal investigation does not have the freedom to choose the tactics and procedures that are most convenient for him or for the investigative body. “We will not tolerate this behavior, not in this instance,” he disclosed.
Additionally, the Special Prosecutor disclosed that he has initiated the process of issuing an INTERPOL red notice, which might result in Ken Ofori-Atta’s international arrest and extradition. “I initiated procedures for the issuance of an INTERPOL red notice for the location and provisional arrest of Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta in whichever jurisdiction, pending extradition or his surrender, approximately half an hour prior to this brief,” the Special Prosecutor disclosed. Recall that the OSP accused him of causing financial losses to the state in a number of transactions, including the building of the renowned National Cathedral, the Strategic Mobilization Ghana Ltd. (SML) of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the loss reduction agreement between ECG and Beijing Jao, and the Health Ministry’s contract with Service Ghana Auto Limited/Ambulances.
