The Special Prosecutor said he finds it difficult to accept any blame for Ofori-Atta leaving the country.

"We have attracted some flak, with people asking, 'Why did you allow him to go?' He left between January 1 and 6, 2025. I know the date, but I'm not going to say it. Who was in power during those days?" he said.
