Frank Davies, a member of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta’s legal team, has dismissed claims of an ongoing investigation into offshore dealings of his client’s activities outside the well-known SML case.

Speaking on JoyNews, Davies said, “There is no such investigation to the best of my knowledge. And he himself is saying that it’s not complete. So if it’s not complete, what is this business of? If the Attorney General said he is investigating something, he should terminate the investigation and charge, and stop coming on the radio and doing what he’s doing. That is not the work of the Attorney General.”

The statement comes after the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine, confirmed on January 10, 2026, that investigations separate from the SML case into Ofori-Atta’s activities were ongoing.

According to Dr Ayine, the probe involves both local and foreign investigators tracking offshore dealings linked to the former minister.

The Attorney General clarified that the investigation is at an early stage and has not yet reached any conclusions, emphasising that no charges have been filed.

Ken Ofori-Atta served as Ghana’s Finance Minister from 2017 to 2024 under former President Nana Akufo-Addo. He has been a central figure in high-profile investigations, including the controversial SML case involving state contracts.
