Ofori Attah is a criminal. He can run the rest of his disgraceful wretched fugitive life. The whole world know who he and his criminal cronies are. Shameless old Christian criminal.

I'm not one of you party dogs who sniff around the houses of thieves and corrupt politicians for bones at yhe expense of mother Ghana.

Supposing there's even going to be an election if Mahama is able to deliver, how are you useless npp nation wreckers and fugitives going to convince Ghanaians with Ofori Attah running around like the confused stranded asylum criminal he has become after wasting Ghana's resources? Your last bet for another elections is Mahama's performance, party idiots.

You can tell by his name and look's that this lawyer may not be a regular white. The AG needs to stand on his ground and defend the country against any cheater or fraud perpetrated against the people. America wants people who are tough to sit on the same table with them for negotiations. They will stomps on you if you’re weak and dumb.

Very stupid Akyem and NPP Party. When your brother Akufo Addo and former President jailed Serlomey and he ended up dying in Prison, he did run away, when Mallam Issah was Jailed and died in President by Akufo Addo the then Attorney General, do any one say something. When Abodakpe was jailed by Akufo Addo and NPP government, where were you to say its was political motivated. When Tsatsu our Law learned legendary and consultant was again jailed. Stupid ugly Akyem man like you was happy.. Now come and account for your mismanagement, you went and engaged an expensive Attorney. Ghana is bigger than the wicked Akyem and NPP. NPP will never come to power again. Bawumia is just wasting his time because Ofori Atta has exposed NPP wickedness towards Ghanaian.

NDC is very evil party. The party was is full of non indigenous Ghanaians, they are not blooded born Ghanaians. Hense, their behaviors like that of the Basari boy called Mustapha Gbande a Togolese whose parents came to settled in the Krachi east area iligally because they came through in approved roots, Joseph Yamin a Labanese, Fulani's who entered through improved border entering points for nomadic activities. Most of them hiding behind Muslim names are really not blooded born Ghanaians except our typical brothers from the northern regions, hense their hostile attitudes. Between 2012 & 2016 the NDC set ablaze the central medical stores at Tema depriving the whole country from essential medicine just to cover up evidence of corruption & I blamed the NPP when they took over power they didn't pursued the matter to the latter. Till date I am still pained such as the containers they imported in name of ambulances, the Sagleme affordable housing. Infact we are talking about millions of dollars in the hands of corrupt individuals just in the name of politics. Indigenous Ghanaians must rise and take over this country from aliens.

What the legal experts in Ghana ought to do is explain to Ghanaians the meaning and understanding of the statute in Ghana's constitution that cover the appearance of impropriety- it has a bearing on the hiring of family and friends- in the NPP majority government of Akufo-Addo /Dr. Bawumia.

We would not be having this discussion about Ofori-Atta but surely not about Otchere Darko who has caused more damage to Ghana than what is being discussed. Each of our problems start with the hiring of family members when a few of us warned against but the classroom educated but ignorant loud/mouthed so-called lawyers with low level application of knowledge convinced others that it was okay to hire.

Left to me, I would rather prosecute those who said it was okay to hire family and friends and force them to explain when and who it is appropriate to not hire under the appearance of impropriety clause under the Ghana constitution.

They refused to appear in Ghana for trial but they have found their way to the BBC to proclaim their innocence. The media Houses are no law courts, Qasimi. It's only guilty and fear stricken people who go on air broadcasting 'they are persecuting me', i've done nothing wrong'. Ofori-Atta and his likes who, a few months ago, touted the integrity of the courts, now find solace in the media houses abroad singing 'I am innocent'. Ofori-Atta can even access the heavenly angels to defend him but the judges will remain the same judges he had left behind when he fled with his bag to the USA. The law is the law and shall remain thus.

They can't say that a whole minister who was in charge of the finances of the republic of Ghana for eight good years can not come and answer questions and that if he's wanted to answer questions in Ghana it's only political. What kind of thinking is that? The man has an obligation to come, for God sake he took an oath of office to serve the republic of Ghana and not the USA.

He hasn't said anything tangible or extraordinary. That's the usual statement political thieves rely on trying to escape justice. This lawyer is saying nothing different. When the details of his crimes unfold before the law courts and appear/become undefendable then he would go searching for alternatives. There are crack lawyers, fine, but some crimes are very difficult to defend, simple. Ofori Atta has committed serious crimes that would be very difficult to defend and that he cannot use political persecution label to escape justice.

You are part of the problem. The prefect himself look at the venerable and dubbed then shithole, gutterboys. He molest the disables and those who cant talk. Look the problem is not the lawyers for it is their work, They defend to earn their dailybread. Ken is a thief, armed robber, murdered and a fearful character. When things got the upper hand you ran away not like Wontumi is a great man, he is facing the law, after all what, Prison. Is it not the abode of humanbeings. Torture, humiliation, discomfort. After all what, come what may. Life once. ken is running but cant hide. Ode ne dua ahye ne to. All your life is gone. The white lawyers will chop all the money you stole from Ghana so look up.

"Lawyer banza",do you know how Ken Ofori-Atta has damaged the country?Please stay away from this case if Ken Ofori-Atta is honest why is he running away from his shadow do you thinkGhanaians are stupid? Former president Mahama then ex president was tagged as corrupt,stayed in the country without moving outside the country,ask the government to investigate him due to his perceived corruption allegations against him,where Authorities created the OSP for him solely but no action was able taken against him because he was not found any corruption against him, so why Ofori-Atta cannot be seen as too honest to clear his name on corruption charges?Be careful not to allow Ghanaians to be on your nerves as a lawyer because there are many government lawyers who are ready to prosecute Ofori-Atta ok?

Who took Ghana to the IMF in 2022? It was Dr Messiah Bawumia and Ken Ofori Atta- cum Akuffo Addo- The NPP Economic Messiah-Dr Bawumia. Ghana has been to the IMF 18 times- Ghana has spend 40 years under the IMF conditions out of its 68 years history-Ghana IS A FAILED STATE. Dr Bawumia pls aren't you embarrassed by revelations at the PAC on revelations of crime committed by the very people u and Akuffo Addo appointed to run affairs of this country? What record are u going to defend. I have lost respect for you. A muslim without intergrity.
The World Bank has pushed back against the erstwhile Akufo-Addo administration’s long-held narrative that Ghana’s 2022 economic collapse was the result of global turmoil, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Bawumia was the Chairman of the Ghana National Economic Management Committee but he says that he was the Drivers Mate. How can a driver's mate do this when he claims he never had the chance to implement anything in government because the powers that be did not allow him. Yet he wants to claim credit for any good things that he never did yet will refuse to accept responsibility for any failure in their government. How stupid does this man think we are? You took the cedi from 4 to 17 and still had the audacity to tell us the rate of depreciation at that time was better than the previous NDC administration. What at all does this man take us for? Does he think we're stupid or what? Someone should tell this man that we haven't forgotten about the DDEP haircuts and surely we shall punish the npp again come 2028.

It insisted that the economic meltdown was “homegrown”.

In its latest 2025 Policy Notes on Ghana, the Bank made clear that while the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine worsened the situation, they were not the root cause.

“The deterioration of global conditions… was not the cause of the 2022 macroeconomic crisis; rather, it merely exposed an economy already beset with deep structural vulnerabilities and precarious macroeconomic conditions,” the report said.

The government has frequently blamed external shocks for the collapse, which saw inflation spiral, the cedi plummet, and the country default on its debt.

But the World Bank said years of weak governance, fiscal indiscipline, and stalled reforms were the real culprits of Ghana's "dark days".

Interbank Market: Cedi trades at GH¢12.35 to $1

The bank also argued that the easy access to international credit and expectations of resource windfalls encouraged short-term political decisions at the expense of long-term stability.

The report noted that the cycle of expansionary spending followed by painful corrections, one that has forced Ghana into 17 IMF programs over the past 68 years, is damaging.

“Sudden macroeconomic stops and crises have led the country to request a record number of IMF programs, remaining under active IMF support for 40 out of its 68 years of history,” the Bank said.

The report also noted that more than 800,000 people were pushed into poverty in the aftermath of the 2022 crisis, with per capita incomes stuck at around US$2,200 for over a decade.

Today, more than a quarter of Ghanaians live below the poverty line, it noted.

Looking ahead, the Bank also raised alarms about Ghana’s fiscal management in the 2024 election year.

It flagged unbudgeted spending commitments of roughly US$4.8 billion, equivalent to 5.7% of GDP, much of it accumulated outside official financial systems.

“Spending indiscipline poses a critical challenge…undermining efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and compromising long-term sustainability,” the report cautioned.

Also, the energy sector arrears still cost around 2% of GDP annually, while COCOBOD’s debts reached US$1.8 billion in 2024, with interventions distorting markets and hurting farmers.

The bank warned that Ghana now stands at a critical crossroads, and temporary fixes will not be enough.

“There is an urgent need to signal a clear break from the past and a commitment to change… Success will ultimately be measured by the ability of the government to regain the trust of its citizens.”

Its recommendations are focused on restoring fiscal discipline, broadening the tax base, reforming state-owned enterprises, and enhancing governance.

Without decisive reforms, the World Bank cautions, Ghana risks remaining trapped in its cycle of crisis and bailouts for decades to come.
