Frank Davies, a lawyer for embattled former Minister of Finance Ken Ofori-Atta, has slammed the Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.
The lawyer for Ken Ofori-Atta told Kissi Agyebeng his place is in the courtroom and not behind microphones.
He urged the OSP to go ahead and charge his client and stop the long talks and gimmicks.
According to Frank Davies, the Special Prosecutor should focus on rebuilding the credibility of his office rather than engaging in ‘media performances’.
Frank Davies emphasised that the OSP press conference was needless and accused Kissi Agyebeng of turning serious legal matters into public drama.
Speaking in an interview on October 31, 2025, Davies dismissed the OSP, stating, “Coming to narrate and talk long and needless English is a conviction in itself. He (the Special Prosecutor) says he’s going to charge him (Ofori-Atta); he should go ahead and stop this gimmicking.
Come on, is this the first time the OSP has come out to say something about Ken Ofori-Atta?” he quizzed.
Frank Davies further recounted, “Once upon a time, what did he tell us? That Ofori-Atta should either come to this country, or he would force his entry. I mean, come on,” he said.
Frank Davies further highlighted that Ofori-Atta is not afraid of prosecution and that he is ready to meet the OSP in court.
“Let me tell you, Kenneth Nana Yaw Kuntunkununku Ofori-Atta is not afraid of prosecution. Let the car roll for the OSP; the accused person will have his vehicle. So, let’s stop these theatrics, A lawyer’s place is in the courtroom, not behind microphones”, he indicated.
Meanwhile, Kissi Agyebeng, the Special Prosecutor, has provided an update on the extradition of former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to Kissi Agyebeng, even if Ken Ofori-Atta has US citizenship, it will not stop his extradition.
He highlighted that the US citizenship status doesn’t prevent extradition.
Kissi Agyebeng added that the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is working closely with the Office of the Attorney General to complete the extradition procedures.
Addressing the media during a press conference on Thursday, October 30, 2025, the Special Prosecutor explained, “It’s unfortunate that there’s been talk about dockets and we’ve refused to give the docket and all. That is beside the point; that is not the issue at all”.
“The issue is that you need to get it right the first time; you don’t keep going back and forth.”
“US citizenship status doesn’t prevent extradition. We will not give up; we will still move on with the processes and ensure that Ghanaians become less restive and appreciate the work we’re doing with the Attorney General,” Kissi Agyebeng noted.
Furthermore, Kissi Agyebeng has revealed he will press charges against the individual implicated in the controversial revenue assurance contracts between the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) by the end of November 2025.
The Special Prosecutor named, former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, former Commissioner-Generals of the GRA — Rev Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah and Emmanuel Kofi Nti, also GRA officials, Isaac Crentsil, and Kwadwo Damoa. A former member of the Finance Ministry, Ernest Akore, are expected to be charged before the end of November 2025.
The OSP decision comes after months of investigations uncovering alleged acts of corruption, abuse of office, and breaches of procurement laws in the award and execution of the SML-GRA contracts.
