The Secretary General of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Abraham Koomson, has questioned the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) over its failure to arrest former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, despite reportedly declaring him wanted earlier this year.

Mr. Koomson said it was baffling and disappointing that Mr. Ofori-Atta, who was said to have been declared a fugitive, continues to move freely in the United States without any visible effort by Ghanaian authorities to bring him to justice.

The former Finance Minister was recently spotted in the U.S., a development that has reignited public discussion about the status of the OSP’s investigations into his alleged financial misconduct.

Earlier this year, the OSP accused Mr. Ofori-Atta of financial irregularities during his tenure and reportedly issued a warrant for his arrest as part of a broader anti-corruption initiative targeting senior government officials.

The OSP had also warned that if the former Minister failed to respond to its summons within a given period, his name would remain on Ghana’s list of wanted persons, officially classifying him as a fugitive from justice.

However, reports suggest that Mr. Ofori-Atta has been living in the U.S. for several months, raising questions about the credibility and enforcement capacity of the OSP.

Reacting to the development on Ahotor FM on Saturday, October 11, 2025, Mr. Koomson expressed concern over what he described as inconsistencies in the OSP’s handling of the case.

“If someone is truly declared wanted, will he have the freedom to roam the streets of America?

“The OSP has said this man is wanted.

“Even though he is not guilty yet, he must return and testify. I will call on the OSP to sit up,” he said.

Mr. Koomson urged the OSP to act decisively and transparently in pursuing all corruption-related cases, warning that selective or inconsistent enforcement would erode public trust in Ghana’s anti-corruption institutions.

“The OSP must show seriousness and fairness in its work. Ghanaians are watching, and confidence in our justice system depends on equal treatment for everyone,” he added.
