The anti-corruption agency rejected that interpretation, stressing that it is not a party to the U.S. immigration proceedings.
Ghana's Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has dismissed reports arising from a purported transcript of a U.S. immigration court hearing involving former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta, insisting that the proceedings have no bearing on the criminal corruption case pending against him in Ghana.
In a public notice issued on Tuesday, the OSP said some media organisations had circulated a transcript allegedly originating from a U.S. immigration court, suggesting that Ofori-Atta "has not been credibly charged in Ghana or credibly shown to have engaged in any wrongdoing in Ghana."
The anti-corruption agency rejected that interpretation, stressing that it is not a party to the U.S. immigration proceedings.
"The OSP stated on 16 June 2026 that it is not involved in immigration hearings in the United States involving Mr. Ofori-Atta, and that the OSP's involvement relates to extradition proceedings against Mr. Ofori-Atta through the Attorney-General, as the central authority," the statement said.
