The Supreme Court has heard arguments in a case concerning a request for an interlocutory injunction from Mr. Solomon Asamoah, the former CEO of the Ghana Investment and Infrastructure Fund (GIIF) and the first accused in the Skytrain scandal trial. Mr. Asamoah has submitted a petition to the Supreme Court to overturn the High Court's decision to dismiss his claim of "no case to answer," as well as an order nullifying what he perceives as alterations to his bail conditions.
Until the outcome of the certiorari application is decided, he is requesting the Supreme Court to issue an injunction to halt proceedings at the trial court. The Attorney-General stands against both applications. The Supreme Court, comprised of Justice Senyo Dzamefe, JSC, is currently deliberating from a single judge perspective.
Counsel for the applicant, Mrs. Victoria Barth, and Deputy Attorney-General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, have presented their arguments. The Court has adjourned the case until Monday, August 31, at 10 a.m., for a decision.
