flag Ghana seeks global arrest of fugitive ex-finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta over alleged $100M public fund misuse.

Former Ghanaian Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta remains a fugitive after failing to appear for investigations into alleged financial misconduct, prompting the Office of the Special Prosecutor to seek international help via an Interpol Red Notice. Accused of mismanaging millions in public funds tied to petroleum, infrastructure, and procurement, Ofori-Atta missed multiple deadlines despite prior promises to return. His legal team has challenged the OSP in court, but the agency insists suspects cannot dictate investigative terms. The case, involving key national projects, has drawn criticism from public figures like educationist Charlotte Selassie Adade, who warn delays threaten accountability and public trust. The U.S. is aware of his presence in Washington, D.C., as the investigation continues under international scrutiny.
