Interpol Ghana issues a red notice for former finance minister
Interpol has issued a “red notice” for the former Finance Minister of Ghana, as a record of the website reviewed on Friday, as he faces allegations of using a public office for personal gain.Ken Tori-Atet is investigating on a string of high-profile contracts, including Ghana’s petroleum revenue, power supply, procurement and deals related to a controversial National Cathedral Project, which later, millions of dollars, have received slightly higher than a hole in the land digged by the construction team.The Interpol notice follows a formal request by the office of Special Prosecutor (OSP) of Ghana, which was re -declared to a wanted person for a wanted person on Monday after failing to appear for a fixed inquiry. The extradition proceedings are allegedly running to return it to Ghana, although his exact location is not clear because he allegedly wants medical treatment abroad.A red notice is a request to the police worldwide to arrest a suspect.OSP is investigating alleged misconduct from improper procurement processes to financial mismanagement.“We will not do this conduct, not in this case,” Special Prosecutor Kisi AGBeng told the local media on Monday.The OSP should appear individually to the Aori-At-aid, rejecting the requests from its legal team for a virtual session on medical grounds.Frank Davis, a member of the Legal Team of Ofori-Atata, criticized the special prosecutor’s point of view.“We presented a medical record in good faith, and the office has chosen him to ignore him,” Davis on Friday told AFP after issuing notices to AFP. “Special prosecutor is not getting sensitive to issues in hand, especially knowing that MR is offeri-lys unwell and receiving treatment.”President John Mahama’s new administration is on the heels of pre -government appointments, who are responsible for his tenure in the office. Attorney-General is currently creating 33 cases of corruption and related crimes against former government appointments.Tori-Aet served as the Finance Minister of former President Nana Akufo-Aid for seven years.
