Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta reportedly will not appear in Ghana as previously planned, according to recent reports. The announcement comes amid growing public and legal attention on his ongoing absence from the country.
Officials and commentators have said Ofori-Atta is unlikely to make the scheduled trip back to Ghana to appear before authorities. On June 2, he was expected to be in the country to address questions from the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), but sources say he will not attend.
Some critics and political figures have argued that if Ofori-Atta has nothing to hide, he should return home voluntarily to face any inquiries or proceedings.
Others close to the former minister say his decision not to return is driven by concerns over the fairness of legal processes in Ghana, with some stating that he believes he would not get a fair trial if he comes back.
Ofori-Atta has been a central figure in national discussions since leaving Ghana, and his potential return remains a matter of public and political interest.
