The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has, this morning, formally charged former Minister for Finance, Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta, along with seven other individuals, with a total of 78 counts of corruption and corruption-related offences.

According to the OSP, the charges form part of ongoing efforts to address suspected financial impropriety and ensure accountability in the management of public resources. The accused persons are expected to respond to multiple allegations that span various forms of corruption-related misconduct.

This development marks one of the most significant anti-corruption actions taken by the OSP in recent months, underscoring its commitment to pursuing high-profile cases involving public officials.

More updates are expected as the case proceeds through the legal process.
