Former Ghanaian Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has reportedly secured approval to continue the process of obtaining lawful permanent residency in the United States, according to claims made by his legal team.
The reported decision relates to his immigration status in the US and comes as he remains at the centre of multiple investigations in Ghana. Independent verification of the reported immigration ruling has not yet been publicly confirmed.
Ofori-Atta, who served as Ghana's finance minister from 2017 to 2024, has been under investigation by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) over several matters linked to his time in office.
The cases include inquiries into government contracts, the National Cathedral project and other public spending decisions.
The former minister has been living in the United States, where his lawyers say he has been receiving medical treatment.
