Former Finance Minister Not ”Committed” to Showing Up – Edem Senanu

Edem Senanu Co-Chair of the Citizens Movement Against Corruption

The Co-Chair of the Citizens Movement Against Corruption, Mr. Edem Senanu, has strongly criticized the Former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s unwillingness to show up to answer the charges leveled against him by the Office of the Special Prosecutor.

Accusations of insincerity have emerged following Ken Ofori-Atta’s legal battle with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP).

Speaking on the situation Mr. Senanu raised doubts about Ofori-Atta’s actions, stating;

“It is very intriguing that somebody who is supposed to be in a medical crisis—so severe that he cannot show up for questioning—is suddenly in court with two cases with his lawyers, chasing the Special Prosecutor over an issue that, under normal circumstances, should be left while he focuses on his health.’’

“Something doesn’t add up. If you had a health crisis, would you be pursuing court cases at this time? To the extent that you are seeking the sympathies of Ghanaians that the SP is insensitive and chasing you? Honestly speaking, this is intriguing.”

According to his lawyers, Ofori-Atta is committed to appearing before the Special Prosecutor when he fully recovers. They insist that the former minister is not avoiding justice, stating that his legal actions do not prevent him from showing up when medically fit.

However, Mr. Senanu dismissed this argument, suggesting that Ofori-Atta’s behavior contradicts his claim of being unwell. He charged;

“We are in March, and he is saying he will be available in June. If your doctors say you need until June to recover, would you have the energy and strength to pursue court cases now? No. This does not look like a public officer who is committed to answering questions after their tenure.”

“You are a prime suspect in five cases. The Special Prosecutor has the right to say, ‘Come and let’s ask questions and get answers.’ You do not get to instruct the Special Prosecutor on which aspects of the case to begin with. Why is he trying to control the process? Is he a special citizen?”

A Deliberate Attempt to Frustrate the OSP?

Mr. Senanu suggested that Ofori-Atta’s court actions appear to be a strategic move to obstruct the OSP’s work. He pointed out that the former minister is not merely challenging his past listing on the fugitive list but is also attempting to prevent any future declarations.

He warned that the optics of Ofori-Atta’s actions are damaging to public confidence in governance. He said;

“It would be very difficult to convince someone like me that there is full honesty, transparency, and accountability being pursued at this point. Something doesn’t add up at all.”

Meanwhile, Ofori-Atta’s lawyers maintain that they are addressing all concerns raised by the OSP and that legal processes are being followed.

“You do not know the nature of the evidence that the OSP has or what they need to establish their case. The responsibility for evidence gathering lies with the Special Prosecutor and his team. You cannot instruct them on how they should do their work.”

“First, you said you were indefinitely unavailable. Then you provided a medical report that didn’t appear to be on the letterhead of a medical facility. Then you accused the SP of raiding your house when they hadn’t. Now, do you want to dictate the investigation process? This is just a systematic attempt to frustrate the Special Prosecutor.”

Mr. Senanu emphasized that this case is more than just Ofori-Atta’s legal rights—it is about public accountability and governance.

As the case unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the Special Prosecutor will proceed with further legal action should Ofori-Atta fail to appear by the June deadline. For now, public scrutiny continues to mount over what many see as a high-profile test of Ghana’s anti-corruption fight.
