Ketu North MP Edem Agbana has rejected claims that the investigation of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta is politically motivated or aimed at disgracing him. He insists the probe, led by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), is strictly about ensuring accountability.
Ofori-Atta is currently listed on an Interpol red notice and is under investigation by the OSP for alleged corruption and abuse of office. However, his lawyers say he is in the United States receiving medical care, making him unavailable for questioning.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s “The Big Issue” on Saturday, June 7, 2025, Agbana emphasized that the demand for accountability applies to all public officials, regardless of political affiliation. He rejected suggestions that the probe is a form of political retribution.
“This is not about payback or disgrace—it’s about due process,” Agbana said.
“During Mahama’s tenure, officials like Kojo Twum Boafo were investigated. His home and family properties were searched, and he visited EOCO over 30 times. The NDC didn’t frame it as a witch-hunt.”
Agbana maintained that Ghana’s democracy can only thrive when institutions hold leaders accountable under the law, and urged Ofori-Atta to present himself for the investigation.
