<p><strong>Pressure group Arise Ghana has announced plans to picket the United States Embassy in Accra on Tuesday to demand the arrest and extradition of former Finance Minister, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, to Ghana to face alleged financial impropriety.</strong></p>
<p>The demonstration, scheduled for 0800 hours, will be held under the hashtag #BringBackKenOfori-Atta, and forms part of the group’s broader advocacy for accountability and the rule of law.</p>
<p>Speaking ahead of the protest, a leading member of Arise Ghana, Comrade Selorm Dramani Dramado, said the picket was intended to draw international attention to the demand for justice and cooperation.</p>
<p>“The picket is a peaceful civic action to demand accountability and to call for cooperation from relevant authorities should extradition processes be initiated,” he said.</p>
<p>According to Arise Ghana, the decision to picket the American Embassy was to reinforce the principle that no individual should be beyond the reach of the law.</p>
<p>The group has called on its members, civil society organisations and concerned citizens to participate in the demonstration, which it says will be peaceful and lawful.</p>
<p>Arise Ghana said the action formed part of its ongoing civic campaign to promote accountability, transparency and respect for the rule of law in Ghana.</p>
