Eugene Boakye Antwi, the former Member of Parliament (MP) for the Subin Constituency in the Ashanti Region, has launched a scathing attack against former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
Speaking in an interview on Oyerepa TV on January 12, 2026, Eugene Boakye Antwi stressed that an image is being created in the minds of Ghanaians that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) members are thieves, with the continued absence of Ofori-Atta.
According to Eugene Boakye Antwi, Ken Ofori-Atta must return to Ghana to explain himself.
Eugene Boakye Antwi stated, “Have you ever seen a political party leave government, and its finance minister cannot be found? It has been one year since Kissi Agyebeng started mentioning Ken Ofori-Atta’s name.
Do you know the damage that has caused the party? They have implanted in the minds of Ghanaians that the NPP are thieves”.
“All the taxes we collect go into the Consolidated Fund, and those monies belong to Ghanaians. We are only custodians of the nation’s resources. So, if you are accused by the state of financial malpractice, why are you running away? Come back and explain yourself,” he added.
Additionally, Kojogah Adawudu, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) legal team, has quizzed former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta, over his refusal to account for his stewardship.
Adawudu noted that Ofori-Atta’s actions will have long-term consequences on his family for generations.
The NDC communicator quizzed the former finance minister on why he is running away from Ghana, and further quizzed him on whether this is the inheritance he wants to leave for his children and family.
Adawudu also made a comparison referencing Ofori-Atta’s great uncle, J B Danquah, whom the subject of a negative historical narrative tag concerning the detention of Ghana’s first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Speaking on Metro TV’s Good Morning Ghana on Monday, January 12, 2026, Adawudu asked, “Why are you running away? For somebody who once occupied the finance position and understands stewardship, why can’t you come and account to the good people of Ghana?”
“Is this what you want to leave for your children? That your father refused to account, that your father was uncovered, that your father stole the people’s money? Is that the inheritance you want to leave for your family?” he queried.
He added, “There is already a blot on the family narrative. With all the stories around J B Danquah and what happened between him and Nkrumah, including his unfortunate death in detention, is that the same story you want to repeat and pass down through generations?”
“If you are invited by the police and you go willingly, they won’t put handcuffs on you. I was surprised when the Office of the Special Prosecutor once described him as a fugitive, but his own conduct today tells you that he is running,” he said.
