Dr. Amoabeng emphasized that responding to allegations does not automatically imply criminal wrongdoing. “I am asking him to come and answer every question,” Dr. Amoabeng stated, adding that “not everything that is claimed necessarily amounts to criminal intent.”

Dr. Amoabeng dismissed suggestions that his comments are motivated by personal opposition, clarifying that he holds no animosity toward the former Finance Minister. “We are brothers. His family is my family, and my family is his. People are projecting it as though I am against him, but that is not the case,” he explained.
According to Dr. Amoabeng, his call is based on principle, accountability, and the need for clarity, especially for public confidence and national interest. “I have nothing against Ken Ofori-Atta,” he added.
