The Special Prosecutor office shot down claims from Professor Ransford Gyampo about their investigation. Gyampo works as the acting head of Ghana Shippers Authority and teaches political science. He went on TV3 Keypoints show Saturday and said Lawyer Kissi Agyebeng acts from personal revenge. The professor thinks the Special Prosecutor has hidden motives against Ken Ofori-Atta. His comments upset the investigation team who responded quickly.
The prosecutor office released a statement Sunday defending their work methods. They said corruption charges drive their investigation into the former Finance Minister. The team focuses on abuse of office for money and the Strategic Mobilisation Limited contract problems. Ofori-Atta faces serious questions about how he handled government business. The office wants people to know they follow evidence and not personal feelings.
Gyampo called and sent messages to investigators during their SML office search. National Security officers were searching the company premises when he contacted them. The timing of his communication raised red flags for the investigation team. Officials found his interference attempt very concerning during active police work. They worry about outside pressure affecting their corruption fight.
The Special Prosecutor office welcomes public criticism about their methods and decisions. However they draw the line at officials trying to influence ongoing investigations. Public comments that lack facts can damage the fight against corruption nationwide. Government workers must stay away from active cases or face consequences. The office warns everyone to respect their independence.
Ken Ofori-Atta remains under investigation for corruption charges related to National Cathedral and SML deals. He failed to answer official summons from the prosecutor office. Reports say he receives medical treatment at Mayo Clinic for prostate cancer surgery. The investigation team requested Interpol help to arrest him. His surgery happened Friday June 13 at Rochester Minnesota hospital.
