Legal analyst and IMANI Africa Vice President Kofi Bentil has warned that the prosecution’s approach in the ongoing case involving former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and the Republic could prove counterproductive.
According to Bentil, pursuing the case with what he describes as an aggressive or politically exposed strategy risks weakening the prosecution’s position rather than strengthening it.
He argues that public commentary and procedural missteps could open the door for legal challenges, potentially shifting focus away from the substance of the case.
Bentil stressed that high-profile cases demand strict adherence to due process and evidence-based prosecution, noting that any perception of bias or haste could undermine public confidence and give the defence room to exploit technicalities.
He further cautioned that if prosecutors fail to build a solid, transparent case, the outcome could damage the credibility of state institutions.
Bentil urged authorities to allow the legal process to run its course without unnecessary publicity, emphasizing that justice is best served quietly, lawfully, and thoroughly.
