Fugitive Finance Minister in 58M Cathedral Scandal

The police want to find Ghana's old money leader, Ken Ofori-Atta. He left his country because people say he did bad things with Ghana's money. Kissi Agyabeng, who helps catch thieves, says they will bring him back.

People think Ofori-Atta wasted lots of money on a special building called a cathedral. The building never happened, but he spent US$58 million on it. That equals about N$1 billion. He hasn't said anything about what people think he did wrong.

His helpers say he left Ghana to see doctors. Mr. Agyabeng told everyone at a meeting that Ofori-Atta didn't come to talk when they asked him questions. He left Ghana at the beginning of January. The police say he doesn't want to come back by himself.

Ofori-Atta was Ghana's money leader from 2017 until 2024. His team lost power when a new group won the December elections. The new leader, President John Mahama, created a special team to find all the money people stole. People have told them about US$20 billion of missing money, which equals almost N$4 trillion.

President Mahama wants to stop people from stealing Ghana's money. He asked special helpers to look into what happened. Some people don't like that he stopped looking into cases about his friends who might have done wrong things.
