Frank Davies, legal counsel for former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, has strongly refuted claims by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that it has not received any medical report justifying Ofori-Atta’s absence from scheduled appearances.
The OSP, on June 2, alleged that the former minister had failed to submit medical documentation to support his health-related excuse for not appearing before the office. Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng accused Ofori-Atta of acting in bad faith and said the office’s patience had “been exhausted.”
In a sharp rebuttal on Citi Eyewitness News on Friday, June 6, Davies insisted that the medical report was duly filed and served on the OSP as part of court documents submitted on May 27, 2025.
“I have said, time without number, that, for the OSP to say that he hasn’t sighted that medical report is a blatant falsehood, and it is unfortunate that he is holding such a public office,” he stated.
Describing the OSP’s claim as ‘distressing,’ Mr Davies urged the office to uphold a more professional approach in handling such sensitive matters.
“The processes that were filed in court on May 27, 2025, pursuant to the application that was heard by the court on May 28, the medical report was in the bond that was served on the special prosecutor. Unless he doesn’t read his court processes thoroughly,” he stated.
Adding “So, for him to come and say that he hasn’t seen any medical report is a blatant falsehood. And as an officer of the court, I find it distressing.”
