Dr Rashid Tanko-Computer is the Acting CEO of GIFEC
The Acting CEO of the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC), Dr Rashid Tanko-Computer, has accused former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, of avoiding accountability in an ongoing investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).
Speaking on Newday on TV3 on June 2, 2025, he alleged that Ofori-Atta is playing hide-and-seek with the OSP.
“Look, this gentleman has been doing hide and seek. He’s doing hide and seek,” Dr Tanko-Computer stated.
Dr Tanko-Computer also claimed that there is no health issue preventing Ofori-Atta from heeding the calls of the OSP, saying, “My brother, who told you this man is not well? The man is well. He’s hearty. There’s nothing wrong. He’s just doing hide and seek. He knows the enormity of the crimes that OSP is investigating.
“He knows his lawyers have advised him accordingly. Counsel is here, he will tell you that these things they have mentioned, the alleged crimes perpetrated by him, if the state should get prosecution on this, the man cannot run away from conviction. So, they know. So, they are doing this hide-and-seek.”
He also criticiSed calls for Ken Ofori-Atta to be interviewed virtually, describing it as a ploy to evade justice.
“Today, see what they are saying, that they should interview him through virtual means. Can you imagine this? Can you imagine this kind of hide-and-seek strategy they have adopted? And we are saying that it is not going to help anybody,” Dr Tanko-Computer said.
Dr Tanko Computer also rallied for support for John Dramani Mahama, praising him for his renewed anti-corruption stance, saying that the president learned from his previous administration and is now focused on recovering stolen public funds.
He warned that any appointees under Mahama’s current administration who misappropriate state funds and resources would face the wrath of the law.
“Let’s support His Excellency John Dramani Mahama in his quest to fight corruption in this country. He has the benefit of hindsight. He was a former president. He’s been there before. He saw it all.
“The modus operandi he used from 2013 to 2016, maybe didn’t help the situation very well. Now, he has come back and he has sat down, looked at it critically, and said ‘No, let’s rather go in to recover the loot. And let me warn my appointees. If you dip your hand in state coffers, I’ll come after you.’ And that is what has been operated.”
He continued; “And that is why for the past five months, getting to six months in his government, no single scandal has rocked any of the agencies, ministries, or departments because of the warning he has given to all appointees. And everybody is living based on that kind of warning. And making sure that the resources put before you are for the good people of this country.”
