The Human Rights Court has dismissed an application by former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, who sought to prevent the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) from issuing a public “wanted” notice against him.

Ofori-Atta, under investigation for alleged misconduct during his time in office, argued through his lawyers that such a declaration would violate his rights and compromise ongoing legal proceedings.
However, the court ruled against the application, clearing the way for the OSP to proceed with its public notice if needed.
The OSP announced the court’s decision in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, June 18.
This ruling adds to a growing list of legal setbacks for Ofori-Atta. He has filed multiple suits to halt various aspects of the investigations, including attempts to block arrest warrants.
The probes focus on alleged procurement breaches, offshore transactions, and financial misconduct tied to his tenure at the Finance Ministry.
In a related development, Ofori-Atta remains the subject of an active Interpol Red Notice. Authorities are currently working on his extradition to Ghana.
Government sources confirm that discussions with international partners are ongoing to enforce the notice and bring him back to face justice.
