This Saturday on Newsfile, the political landscape takes centre stage as your favourite analytical programme delves into the latest controversies shaking Ghana.
First on the menu is the controversial declaration of former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta as a fugitive from justice.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has officially declared the former Finance Minister a fugitive in connection with ongoing corruption investigations.
However, the Minority in Parliament has strongly opposed the description, condemning the OSP's action as politically motivated.
According to them, the move is an attempt to tarnish Ofori-Atta’s reputation. Meanwhile, his lawyers have clarified that he is currently out of the country seeking medical care, urging authorities to refrain from misrepresenting his situation.
Also to be discussed is President John Dramani Mahama coming under scrutiny, with critics labelling him the “Chief Clearing Agent” following the discontinuation of several high-profile corruption cases.
The opposition and civil society groups argue that these decisions undermine accountability and justice.
The government, however, maintains that the cases were dropped due to insufficient evidence or legal procedural concerns.
Is President Mahama a “Chief Clearing Agent,” or is the opposition playing politics with legal decisions?
Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff has ordered a mass annulment of public sector appointments made after December 7, 2024.
The move has also sparked widespread concerns, with affected individuals threatening to sue. Government sources argue that the dismissals are part of efforts to address irregularities in the recruitment process under the previous administration.

These developments have set the stage for a heated discussion on JoyNews' Newsfile this Saturday, where analysts, legal experts, and political commentators will dissect the implications of these actions on governance, accountability, and public sector stability.
Join host Samson Lardy Anyenini and a panel of experts as they break down these pressing issues. Don’t miss out—tune in for in-depth analysis and critical insights into Ghana’s unfolding political drama.
