The legal team for former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta is considering its next move after a High Court ruling dismissed their application challenging an arrest warrant issued by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). The court ruled on July 31 that the application lacked merit, allowing the warrant to stand.
According to Frank Davies, Ofori-Atta’s lawyer, the team is reviewing available legal options. “The High Court has delivered its ruling, and we will explore the next steps available to us. There are avenues open to every lawyer, and we’ll consider them carefully,” Davies said.
The OSP had secured the arrest warrant as part of an investigation into alleged corruption and procurement breaches during Ofori-Atta’s tenure. Despite the court’s decision, Ofori-Atta has yet to appear before the OSP, citing ongoing medical treatment abroad. In June, the OSP declared him wanted and began working with Interpol to facilitate his arrest.
