The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has vowed to effect the arrest of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta upon his return to Ghana on March 25, 2025.
This follows the New Patriotic Party’s announcement that Mr. Ofori-Atta is expected to return to the country on that date based on a medical report from the Mayo Clinic.
Speaking on Starr News, Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC and Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, stated that the party will hold all corrupt officials accountable.
“We will arrest Ken Ofori-Atta, and we will do it in a ‘rumble-style’ at the airport. The same group of people who have suffocated their own party and left their members hungry are responsible for this. These individuals are Ghanaians, and they deserve to be happy in their own country. Such people cannot regroup within a month and pretend to be clean.”
“A number of MPs who are making noise in Parliament are on record as being involved in serious corruption and stealing state funds. They have stolen public money, and we have yet to speak about it, but now they are pretending to be clean? They are not. Some of them think they have friends within the NDC who will cover for them. I’ve told them to go and consult with their gods.”
“The game is just beginning, and they shouldn’t rush things. As for holding them accountable, some might run, but those who run will never escape. For those who stay, the law will test them, and nothing will stop that. We have the mandate from the people of Ghana to hold those who have stolen state funds accountable, and that will happen. If they want, they can take all the media stations to the NPP headquarters and hold press conferences every day, but we will deal with them,” he added.
