OSP’s procedural failure on Ofori-Atta gave US immigration court the opening it needed – Ansa-Asare

A senior Ghanaian legal academic has argued that the Office of the Special Prosecutor's failure to obtain prior authorisation from the Attorney General — as required by law — created the procedural vulnerability that a United States immigration court ultimately exploited in granting former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta permanent residency. Kwaku Ansa-Asare, Dean of the Faculty of Laws at Mountcrest University College and former Director of the Ghana School of Law, made the remarks on Newsfile on Saturday, days after Ofori-Atta's lawyers confirmed that a US immigration court had granted his Green Card I-485 petition, with the court having considered evidence relating to actions taken by Ghana's OSP — including its earlier decision to declare him a fugitive from justice at a time when he was reportedly receiving medical treatment in the United States.
