Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister of State for Government Communications, asserts that former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta should not evade accountability. He emphasizes that scrutiny and accountability are obligations for all public officials, whether in or out of office. Ofosu highlights that former officials, including those serving under President John Dramani Mahama, faced investigations and judicial processes, and Ofori-Atta was part of the government during that time. He questions why Ofori-Atta should avoid similar scrutiny. Ofosu provides President Mahama as an example of openness to investigations, noting that accountability processes do not automatically imply wrongdoing. He suggests that if Ofori-Atta is confident of his innocence, he should cooperate with investigators. The former finance minister is expected to appear in court in January 2026, and the government is committed to holding all public officials accountable. Kwakye Ofosu concludes by reiterating the government's commitment to accountability, encouraging investigative authorities to carry out their duties if there's a basis for investigation.
