In the ongoing Sky Train trial, former GIIF CEO Solomon Asamoah has requested the court to compel 15 individuals, including former government officials, directors of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), and financial experts, to testify on his behalf. The list includes former Minister for Railway Development Joe Ghartey, the Auditor-General, Dr Pamela Graham, and representatives of Deloitte Ghana and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The prosecution alleges that Asamoah and former Board Chairman Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi conspired to facilitate the payment of US$2 million to Africa Investor Holdings Limited without the requisite approval from the GIIF Board.
