Pressure group, Arise Ghana, on Tuesday, January 20, mounted a protest outside the United States Embassy in Accra, calling for the immediate return of Ghana's former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to face investigations into alleged financial misconduct.
The protestors dressed in red and black, held placards, demanding his return to Ghana to answer questions in an ongoing corruption probe.
The protest amplifies pressure on authorities as Ghana's Office of the Special Prosecutor continues its probe into several transactions approved during Mr Ofori-Atta’s tenure from 2017 to 2024. The group argues that his continued stay overseas undermines public confidence in the accountability process.
Below are photos from the protest:
