DETAILS: The Office of the Special Prosecutor OSP on Former Finance minister Ken Ofori Atta corruption allegations
Ken Ofori Atta’s tenure as Finance Minister was marked by ambitious economic reforms, but it has now come under scrutiny for alleged mismanagement and corruption. The SML deal, in particular, has been a focal point of contention, with accusations that the contract terms were overly favorable and lacked proper procurement processes. The public and various civil society groups have long demanded answers, and the Special Prosecutor’s action seems to be a response to these pressures.
Furthermore, the disbursements for the National Cathedral have also come into question. Funds allocated for this significant national project appear to have been mismanaged or misused according to preliminary findings by the Special Prosecutor’s office. This project, intended to be a symbol of national unity and religious convergence, has instead become a symbol of potential corruption, overshadowing its intended purpose and stirring public debate.
