Interpol Issues Red Notice For Ken Ofori-Atta Over Allegations Of Using Public Office For Personal Profit

Interpol has listed Ghana’s former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, as “Wanted” on its official website.

This development follows a notice from the Office of the Special Prosecutor, which re-declared Ofori-Atta as wanted after he failed to appear for a scheduled interrogation on June 2.

According to the Special Prosecutor at a presser on June 2, steps had been initiated to place Ofori-Atta on an Interpol Red Notice with extradition proceedings underway to return him to Ghana.

Ofori-Atta is under investigation for his alleged involvement in several high-profile cases, including:

1. Petroleum and Minerals Revenue Assurance: Contractual arrangements between Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

2. Electricity Company Contract Termination: The termination of a contract between the Electricity Company of Ghana and Beijing Xiao Cheng Technology (BXC).

3. National Cathedral Project: Procurement procedures and financial transactions related to the construction of the National Cathedral.

4. Ambulance Procurement: A Ministry of Health contract with Service Ghana Auto Group Limited for the purchase and maintenance of 307 ambulances.

5. GRA Tax P-Fund Management: The handling and disbursement of funds from the GRA’s Tax P-Fund Account.

On Interpol’s website, the charge listed against Ofori-Atta is “using public office for profit.”
