The Supreme Court has authorized the ongoing trial of former Chief Executive Officer Solomon Asamoah and former Board Member Professor Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi, who are accused of paying $2 million for a Skytrain project without board approval. Mr. Asamoah had requested an interlocutory injunction to halt the trial, as he believed it lacked substantial evidence.
However, Justice Senyo Dzamefe denied his application, stating that the case was suitable for appeal, not further adjudication. The trial, which began after the high court dismissed the no-case-to-answer submissions, has six counts against the two individuals, including conspiracy to commit crime and intentional dissipation of public funds.
Both are currently on bail, accused of causing financial loss to the state by approving the payment without proper board approval.
