When Politics Meets Perception: Will Ken Ofori-Atta return to Ghana?
Ken Ofori-Atta, a former Finance Minister, left Ghana amid investigations and public controversy. President John Dramani Mahama, while addressing a public gathering, humorously appealed to Mr. Ofori-Atta to return to Ghana, remarking that his children were calling for their father to come home because they missed him. President Mahama further stated that Mr. Ofori-Atta had once described himself as a father who would never abandon his children during difficult times, even when some members of his own party reportedly called for his removal from office.
President Mahama offered an assurance that if Mr. Ofori-Atta believed he had done nothing wrong, he should return to Ghana, where the government would guarantee his security and ensure that any legal matters were handled through due process.
