Media personality and former Ghana Airports Company Board Chair, Paul Adom-Otchere, has raised concerns over the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) approach in handling cases involving individuals outside Ghana, particularly former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta as reported by Ghana Web.

Adom-Otchere questioned why the OSP, led by Kissi Agyebeng, had previously traveled abroad to interrogate Samuel Adam Mahama, brother of President John Dramani Mahama regarding the Airbus corruption scandal, but appears unwilling to do the same for Ofori-Atta, who is reportedly residing outside the country.

The former finance minister has recently come under scrutiny for his alleged involvement in the National Cathedral funding saga, with reports suggesting that $58 million is unaccounted for.

Despite the magnitude of the allegation, Adom-Otchere finds the OSP’s reliance on public declarations rather than direct engagement troubling.

“If you were able to do this for somebody who didn’t hold public office… why can’t you do the same for Ken Ofori-Atta?” he asked during his Good Evening Ghana show.

He stressed that the OSP’s inconsistent tactics raise doubts about the institution’s objectivity and commitment to due process, especially when large sums of public funds are in question.

The OSP has issued an Interpol Red Notice against Ofori-Atta, citing abuse of public office for personal gain.

However, critics argue that stronger investigative steps should include face-to-face questioning, regardless of the suspect’s location.
