Amidu Wades Into Ofori-Atta & OSP Standoff: A Word of Caution!
Colaboradores
Former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, has entered the ongoing back-and-forth between ex-Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) with a stark warning. Amidu's statement invokes a historical precedent involving a former Chief Justice to advise the OSP's current leadership.
A Historical Parallel
Amidu draws a parallel to the late Chief Justice I.K. Abban's alleged disparaging comments towards Justice G.E.K. Aikins during his fight with prostate cancer. Interestingly, Abban himself later suffered from and succumbed to the same illness.
“Let Kissi Agyebeng be told,” Amidu stated, highlighting Abban's alleged actions and eventual fate as a cautionary tale. Justice Abban retired in controversial circumstances in 2001 and died shortly after, while Justice Aikins lived for another decade.
The Ofori-Atta Investigation
Amidu's intervention appears to be a warning to Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng amidst the OSP's investigation into potential financial impropriety involving Ken Ofori-Atta. He frames the historical episode as a lesson against wielding power without humility and due consideration.
The OSP claimed on June 2nd that Ofori-Atta had failed to provide medical documentation justifying his absence from an OSP hearing. Kissi Agyebeng accused Ofori-Atta of acting in bad faith and suggested the office had run out of patience.
However, Ofori-Atta's legal team vehemently denies these claims. Frank Davies, lead counsel, asserted that the medical report was submitted to the OSP as part of court documents on May 27, 2025.
Key Takeaways
- Amidu cautions the OSP against hubris in its dealings with Ofori-Atta.
- Ofori-Atta's team insists medical reports were properly filed.
- The investigation into Ofori-Atta's financial dealings continues.
The situation remains complex, with both sides presenting conflicting narratives. NewsRpt.com will continue to provide updates as this story develops.
