Ken Ofori-Atta is a former Minister of Finance
Divine Nkrumah, a member of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), has disclosed shocking details about an alleged plot by former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta to discredit Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom.
According to the PPP’s Director of Operations, Ofori-Atta’s actions against Dr. Nduom make him undeserving of sympathy following the controversy surrounding his arrest warrant.
“Do you know what he did to Dr. Nduom? After shutting down his bank in Ghana, Ofori-Atta still wasn’t satisfied. So, they took Dr. Nduom to court in the U.S., but he won the case. Ofori-Atta then followed him to Liberia, determined to collapse his businesses there. At one point, if Dr. Nduom wanted to return to Ghana, he had to call and beg the authorities for permission,” he revealed.
Nkrumah further alleged that Ofori-Atta had planned to arrest Dr. Nduom upon his arrival in Ghana as part of an effort to tarnish his reputation.
“The same tactic Ken fears—being handcuffed and discredited—was exactly what he planned for Dr. Nduom. They had arranged to arrest Dr. Nduom at the airport, only to release him 24 hours later, just to damage his reputation,” he added.
His revelations come after Ofori-Atta was placed on a wanted list by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) for corruption and related offenses linked to multiple questionable deals.
The announcement was made during a press conference on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
Following further engagements with the lawyers of Ofori-Atta, the OSP has withdrawn the arrest warrant.
