The correspondence asserted that Ofori-Atta would be able to return between May 14 and 30, 2025, depending on his recovery. The legal team requested that this information be taken into account when scheduling his in-person appearance for questioning at the OSP office.
In summary, Ken Ofori-Atta is anticipated to return to Ghana in May 2025 after undergoing medical treatment abroad, as confirmed by his legal representatives. Following his return, he is expected to cooperate with the ongoing investigation by the OSP concerning several corruption allegations. The case continues to generate public interest as accountability in financial matters remains a focal point for the authorities.
