Legal representatives for Solomon Asamoah, former CEO of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), and Prof. Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi, former Board Chair, have requested adjustments to their clients’ bail conditions.
The two accused have been charged with multiple offenses, including willfully causing financial loss to the state and intentional mismanagement of public funds, in connection with the failed $2 million Accra Sky Train project.
Both defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges. Solomon Asamoah is currently on a GHC15 million bail with two sureties to be justified, while Prof. Ameyaw Ekumfi has been granted bail set at GHC10 million under similar conditions.
As part of their bail terms, Asamoah is required to report to police investigators three times a week, while Ekumfi is expected to report once a week.
During court proceedings on Tuesday, June 10, lawyers for the accused individuals requested additional time to review the disclosures and witness statements provided by the Attorney-General.
They also made an oral request for a reduction in the frequency of their clients’ mandatory check-ins with investigators.
Presiding judge Comfort Tasiame directed the lawyers to file a formal application for the bail condition variation and adjourned the case to June 24 for a case management conference.
Authorities continue to monitor developments in the case, as discussions surrounding the Accra Sky Train project and its financial implications persist.
