We all know that all that the AG wants to do is arrest Ofori Atta in the Wontumi style and never be able to prosecute successfully.

In that vulnerable state that he is, this Afghan lawyer has got his life-changing windfall from Ghana's disgraced & dishonorable "Money Bag"... Ken Ofori-Atta! Indeed, God works in mysterious ways. This is how that Piccadilly Armed Robber is going to scatter a great chunk of our monies that he has stolen for himself. Nobody should envy that crook at all........... he's as miserable as Lucifer himself.

Of course, what do you expect from a lawyer hired by a criminal to defend him elude justice. But the truth is, there's no peace for the wicked! I suspect cases in the background and the moment he appears, those charges will be pressed against him and he knows. Consequently, that man won't voluntarily return unless by force.

I agree with your reasoning. He may be aware of more damning cases waiting to unfold as soon as he's in the hands of the authorities. True or false, he is supposed to be here to answer for his actions as a public servant.

Prof Azar like l said what is happening in Ghana is not about proving by law what Political Prosecution and and what is not? It is about how the NDC government Investigative bodies have handled suspects before them. We the non-law scholars look at things that way. What do you say about the following per your analyses of what is political prosecution and what is not?
1. Chairman Wontumi detention and bail conditions
2. Abronye detention and a court of competent jurisdiction remanding him to prison custody in a case that is bailable
3. The raiding of Ken's house by National Security Operative wilding guns with the Special Prosecutor claiming that Ken organised that raid himself. The argument that Ken is not the only one being prosecuted in the SML matter falls flat in sense that how come it was only Ken whose home was raided by the National Security
4. Look at the Paul Adom Otchere case with OSP, clearly the OSP only wanted to show him where power lies because he had been a critic of the OSP about how he handled the Ken matter as well as Cecilia Dapaah
5. The media prosecution being championed by the AG in the name of accountability
6. The Nolle Prosequi for all corrupt officials of the NDC who were in court is enough to prove that the prosecutions of this government's opponents is simply political
7. The request for extradition of Ken by this AG whilst there is a corrupt NDC official who has been tried and jailed but is hiding in the US but this government has not shown any seriousness in her extradition to come and serve her jail term is enough to show that there is political prosecution of opponents
8. The way and manner the previous CJ was removed and hurriedly replaced even when the matter is on court all feeds into the agenda of political prosecution, and any one being pursued by this government would feel that they would not get fair trial

So Prof Azar these may be the reasons why people like Ken may feel they will not get fair trial. When all these things were happening we did not hear some of you law professors commenting, now the consequence is suspected corrupt officials of previous government will take advantage of these things and lay claim to the facts that their prosecution is political.
In as much as corrupt officials must be prosecuted, the way yhe cases are handled must be decorous and should not have any suspicions of witch hunting and political prosecutions. I rest my case.

Kwaku Azar, your Azar (Lier) name alone betrays your genuineness. Ofori Atta is not as stupid to fall to your snares and be subject to inhumane, bullish, rambo-stlye humiliations that charactise the Mahama administration.

Tell Mahama to prosecute his brother for submitting dude checks to GRA, his own airbus scandal, NDC MPs who took double paychecks, Collins Dauda who made Ghana lose $200 million, Sammy Gyamfi who splashed dollars on a witch called Agrada, Sam George whose wife was able to procure a luxurious Lexus 4X4 SUV for him 3 month into Mahama adminstration.

Press conferences like what the OSP and the Attorney General is doing doesn't win cases. Prof Kweku Asare is in a good position to ask the government of Ghana to give the case to him and take it to court because both of them are in the US and proof his knowledge in law. But Press conference is just a nuisance.

If Mahama were guilty of corruption, the law should have held him accountable. The fact that the Airbus investigation ended without a conviction points to a lack of evidence to substantiate the claim of wrongdoing.

Kwaku Azar don't mind that Ofori-Atta's lawyer who is out to just take his money. Ofori-Atta is wanted to answer allegatoons of fraudulent behaviour whilst in office. He is not wanted for belonging to the NPP or commiting treason against the state. If he has not commited any offence against the state why the refusal to return to answer the allegations. levelled against him? The lawyer in America knows very well he stands to gain big financially as his client. A juicy pick to be precise.

Nana Addo isca criminal who bidded his time until hr occupied the presidency where our current defective consititution gives him immunity from prosecution. Unfortunately, the intermediaries who committed these acts with him are not immuned from prosecution. I'm glad the petition to the OSP started well before NPP lost their election.

Any sound lawyer will not advise his client to voluntarily come down to face an obvious persecution. We are all witnesses to the political witch-hunting going on with improbable bail conditions to teach political opponents lessons in cells. KOA has already been tried in absentia led by the AG and SP and some so called CSOs and neutrals including yourself. You have already pronounced him guilty through write ups and conferences. You expect him to come down so you pounce on him like wolves. It will be silly for him to come down to such an insecure environment to be persecuted. You can go ahead and seek extradition. Good luck

This Ofori atta and his ilks are always lying to Ghanaians. They Ofori atta is not coming back home because he's receiving medical treatment in the US. They are now saying he's not coming because of political threat he fear to face back to Ghana.

The so-called international lawyer for Ofori-Atta is ignorant in his law practice and lack legal knowledge in the charges levelled against his client with the retribution approach currently he the lawyer found himself in America environment where the accused is hiding. Ofori-Atta will still use the alleged stolen money to pay such lawyers who is trying to throw dust in the eyes of the public. This so-called International Lawyer missed the point terribly and need to resign his retainership and save Ofori-Atta the money probably from the alleged loot.

We all know what has happened to the political opponents on the NDC list since they came to power. There is evidence of ransacking of peoples homes, detention without due process, and abuse of bail conditions. Even when the OSP knew of his health conditions, he still put a red notice on him to satisfy the pressure from people within the NDC. The NDC has shameful removed the Chief Justice with the support of people like Kweku Azar. They have now appointed someone who will do their bidding. All these and many more show that political opponents will not received fair hearing in court

Prof, don't mind that idiot who wore white cassock and preached the gospel when delivering national issues. The most dangerous person in Ghana who has stolen so much and run away to hire expensive lawyers to defend him. Those Ghanaians who do internet fraud are better than him. They do their illegal business and bring their proceeds home. Ofori Attah stole and spending in other people's country building those economies.

That lawyer may not have a strong defense for the corrupt looting Ofori-Atta, and he's merely singing for his huge fees that Ofori-Atta is doling out to him using the funds he looted from the Ghana government. Where was the {political motivation" when Ofori-Atta and his NPP supporters claimed that he's undergoing treatment in the USA and will willing return to Ghana upon completion of his treatment? There's no political motivation here, just an attempt to get that crooked former Finance Minister back to Ghana to answer for his part in the looting that he and his fellow looting thieves carried out while in office.

Oh!! Ken Ofori Atta!!!! Ghana will not harm you, okay, even if your actions during your term of office did cause some financial damage: just a new address at Nsawam where each day the security guards will hit your ball/scrotum with a sledge hammer. That's all !!!

There is nothing like legal realities in circus Ghana. Judges are being bribed and promoted to twist judgment, lawyers are being offered bigger envelopes and packages to derail court process and questionable judgement given in courts, criminals being emboldened by skewed judgement thereby emboldened to commit more crimes because they offer bigger envelopes, can influence to get some people promoted to higher positions, what is the essence of LEGAL REALITIES here???

Ofori Atta is a Ghanaian politician who defrauded his country . He has absconded and living in the US. He should be tried in absentia but his American lawyers will have to come to Ghana during his trials. The trial should not be in the US if he fails to come to Ghana to stand trial. His case is against the state and he should be tried in Ghana .
