OSP to Charge Ken Ofori‑Atta and Five Others Over SML‑GRA Contract Corruption

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has confirmed that former Finance Minister Ken Ofori‑Atta and five other individuals will face formal charges in connection with alleged corruption involving a contract between SML Group and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).

The OSP stated that investigations into the matter have concluded, and indictments are expected to be filed by the end of November 2025. While the names of the other five accused persons have not been disclosed, the case is anticipated to attract significant public and media attention due to Ofori‑Atta’s high-profile status.

This development highlights the OSP’s ongoing efforts to hold senior officials accountable for alleged financial misconduct. Legal analysts note that the case underscores the government’s commitment to transparency in state contracts and the enforcement of anti-corruption measures.

The forthcoming charges mark a critical moment in Ghana’s fight against corruption, reinforcing the principle that even prominent public figures are not above the law.
