The recent invitation extended by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to Ken Ofori-Atta the former finance minister has sparked intense debate and speculation among Ghanaians especially the NPP and its micro-Minority in Parliament. However, it is imperative to underscore that the primary objective of the John Mahama administration is to recover stolen state funds, rather than engaging in a vindictive pursuit of political persecution.
The NDC’s paramount concern is to surcharge individuals found guilty of illicitly acquiring public wealth, with the ultimate goal of recovering state funds to develop the country.
This pragmatic approach is guided by a commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance. Indeed ,by prioritizing the recovery of stolen state funds, the administration aims to promote economic growth, reduce corruption, and enhance the overall well-being of Ghanaians.
It is worth noting that the former minister had received at least three invitations from the OSP, yet failed to respond.
This lack of cooperation has raised questions about why he is being shielded from honouring the OSP’s invitation.
Furthermore, allegations have been made against Ofori-Atta and his family, alleging collusion with Akufo-Addo in misappropriating state funds. These allegations have serious implications for the integrity of the state and the rule of law.
The warning is clear, failure to retrieve these funds would be detrimental to Ghana’s future. The government’s commitment to recovering stolen state funds is a step in the right direction, and it is essential that this effort is not misconstrued as political persecution. To separate the truth from the political falsehood of the NPP, the primary goal is to recover state funds and develop the country. This approach is underpinned by a commitment to justice, fairness, and the rule of law.
In conclusion, the John Mahama administration’s efforts to recover stolen state funds are PROVE to its commitment to good governance, transparency, and accountability. Cocksurely, by prioritizing the recovery of stolen state funds, this administration aims to promote economic growth, reduce corruption, and enhance the overall well-being of Ghanaians.
