New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for Mpraeso, Davis Ansah Opoku, has supported investigations into alleged corruption involving former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.

His statement comes after the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) named Ofori-Atta as a suspect in four major cases. These include issues related to the National Cathedral Project, the Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML) revenue deal, and two other cases.

Speaking on Channel One Newsroom on Wednesday, February 12, Opoku raised concerns about how the OSP is handling the case, especially its decision to call Ofori-Atta a fugitive.

He stressed the importance of accountability but questioned whether the Special Prosecutor’s approach was fair and followed due process.

“I am not here to defend anybody that the state feels has engaged in any wrongdoing. I mean, we are public officers and we are expected to govern with a certain dignity and so if there is sufficient evidence to indicate that the former Finance Minister has engaged in any wrongdoing, I believe that he ought to face the law and the due process must be followed.

“However, we strongly believe that the processes leading to that process ought to follow a particular rule of law.

We need to uphold the fundamental rights of every Ghanaian, irrespective of your service or whether the Ghanaian people like you or not and that has been our position.”
