Criminals. Thieves. They are not thinking of how to clear his name bcuz they know he is a certified, renowned thief. So they think his only option is to avoid accountability. Initially, the excuse was that he was receiving medical care (to be specific, he allegedly underwent surgery). Why has that conversation changed? Why is it now about how escape extradition?So, it was always about running away from accountability.

And mindless political party dogs are supporting him bcuz it is okay if Ghana loses billions of Ghana cedis, so long it is their political party thieves who steal the money. Then the same political party dogs will turn round and complain about roads, hospitals, lack of classroom furniture in schools, etc.

Lazy AG. How on earth can a criminal escape justice by clothing himself with political persecution? It is up to you to make your case as it is and let him prove otherwise. You can do so by trying and punishing civilly other corrupt criminals in the jurisdiction as good example of fairness. Sedina Tamakloe included. Either you are compromised like SP and trying to throw dust in our eyes. Ken has always gotten away through bribing like he did on his second term confirmation hearing where even opposition members of the vetting committee except Ablakwa capitulated and confirmed him as finance minister for the second term.

Why should he come home to face corrupt mahama.
President mahama and military hierarchy is confused. First time in history's they can't pay pensioners that even served more than 30 years. In July ,25,Ghq (legal) release a letter warning dfc, why the government is not paying pensioner of 30 years served by the current CI. The pensioners that served 30 years unprecedented military service is going home with same military pay with old constitution instruments *(CI) of which The so called Devil Akuffo Addo did to thank soldiers. The angel mahama, who overtly want 3rd term dont want to pay, hence hence using the old tactics to pay people's served 30 years as if they served 15 years. President mahama, use ghana money of 70 million akuffor addo left for soldier pension to pay them than to save the exchange rate and stop looking for your third term. Pay retired solders what is due for them. Stop confusing us with your fucking illustrations with thr old CI. We know where Armoury is, and the people manning radio rooms. Be warned. Pay the right amount.

Bullshit . If America through the FBI can come into our country and arrest criminals or fraudulent people and send them to be prosecuted in the US , so too can we request the US to send back our citizens who have dubbed the country to be prosecuted. Ofori Atta is not facing political persecution or torture, he is facing a criminal offense in his own country. This man outsmarted Ghanaians and left Ghana in plain view of our security agencies. The Ghana government can equally hire expert lawyers to help extradite Ofori Atta to Ghana .

The long extradition proceedings will deplete the stolen monies Ofori Atta took even selling his companies here in Ghana and his bank accounts in Cayman Islands. That is Karma and these jargons form the former Dep AG must be stopped. When did Ofori Atta issues started and where was this former Dep AG? If it is democracy we are practicing, and he means well for Ghana, he should have spoken up earlier and helped. We don't need your jargons here, Tuah. You're all part of the thievery. All his deals happened under your watch and now you're here explaining extradition proceedings to us. Why didn't you prevent it when the looting was taking in the first place.
