The criminal trial involving former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and seven other accused persons has been adjourned to February 26 to allow the prosecution additional time to complete outstanding procedural requirements. First, summons are yet to be served on Mr Ofori-Atta and Mr Akore, who are currently outside the country. While some disclosures have been filed, the OSP told the court that not all had been served on the defence. The court granted the request and adjourned proceedings to February 26, with the expectation that all procedural issues would be resolved by then. The trial stems from charges filed by the OSP in November 2025, accusing Mr Ofori-Atta and his co-accused of corruption and corruption-related offences, largely linked to contracts awarded to Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML) and related public procurement transactions.
