  "account": "Former GIIF CEO Solomon Asamoah and former Board Chairman Prof. Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi's trial has been postponed until October 19 to give the Supreme Court time to review an application seeking to restrict the court from continuing with the trial. Mr. Asamoah's lawyers have also filed a certiorari application challenging the court's order for him to present a defense after the prosecution had established a prima facie case. They are being tried for allegedly losing $2 million from the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) during the Sky Train project. The charges include conspiracy, financial loss to the state and intentional dissipation of public funds. The court heard that the two approved the transfer of $2 million from GIIF into Africa Investor Holdings Limited without proper board approval. The court had scheduled the case for case management on the following days, but counsel for Mr. Asamoah requested an adjournment due to an ongoing application at the Supreme Court. The lawyers also filed a witness statement on September 23 and 14 subpoenas on October 2 for potential cross-examination witnesses. Two witnesses are unavailable, and the defense will submit their witness statements if granted leave by the court. The case was adjourned to October 19, 2026.",
