The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) in Ghana has categorically denied receiving any medical report from former Finance Minister, Mr. Kenneth Ofori-Atta, claiming he is medically unfit to travel.

In a statement issued by the OSP, the office emphasized that neither Mr. Ofori-Atta nor his legal team has submitted any documentation regarding his health status or ability to travel.

"The Office of the Special Prosecutor wishes to state unequivocally that it has not received any medical report from the former Finance Minister or his representatives indicating that he is medically unfit to travel," the statement read.

This clarification comes amid circulating reports suggesting that Mr. Ofori-Atta had presented medical evidence to justify his inability to respond to certain official summons that might require his travel.

The OSP's statement appears to be addressing speculation in Ghanaian political circles about the former minister's availability for potential investigations or inquiries following his tenure as Finance Minister.

Mr. Ofori-Atta served as Ghana's Finance Minister until earlier this year and oversaw several significant economic policies during his time in office, including the country's recent debt restructuring efforts.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor, established to investigate and prosecute cases of corruption in Ghana, has not provided further details about why they felt compelled to issue this clarification at this time.
