Ken Ofori-Atta, the former finance minister of Ghana, has become the subject of an Interpol red notice following his failure to respond to summons from prosecutors regarding serious corruption allegations. The accusations against Ofori-Atta include involvement in a controversial multimillion-dollar cathedral project that has raised eyebrows and sparked public outcry.

The red notice serves as a request to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest Ofori-Atta, pending extradition. This development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing investigations into corruption in Ghana, particularly concerning high-profile government officials.

The cathedral project, which has been criticized for its exorbitant costs amid a backdrop of economic challenges in the country, has become a focal point of the corruption claims. As the situation unfolds, many are closely watching how the government and judicial systems will respond to these serious allegations against a former key figure in Ghana’s financial landscape.
