The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has revealed that he is aware of the exact date former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta left the country during the transition period but chose not to disclose it publicly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe left before 7th January, between 1st and 6th January. I know the exact date, but I am not going to say it. Who was in power during those few days? And we don\u2019t control the airport,\u201d he said on KSM Show on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mr Agyebeng explained that despite having the information, his office could not prevent the former minister\u2019s departure due to a lack of cooperation from other security agencies.<\/p>\n

He claimed that his office, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), did not get the needed cooperation from other state security agencies in the aftermath of the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n

Mr. Agyebeng lamented that the absence of institutional readiness and inter-agency collaboration undermined the Office of the Special Prosecutor\u2019s ability to act effectively under the erstwhile NPP administration.<\/p>\n

The OSP added that the former minister\u2019s extradition from the United States remains uncertain, citing the complexities of international law and diplomatic protocols.<\/p>\n

He said if Mr Ofori-Atta were currently in Ghana, his office would have effected an arrest without hesitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was making a joke about it that, if he lives in Agbogba, he would be with us as we are speaking, but since he is in a foreign country, I cannot put a date on it. And even that, the central authority in charge of extradition matters in the USA would decide\u2026,\u201d he said on the KSM Show.<\/p>\n
