  "account": "The High Court in Accra has rescheduled a fraud case against Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Wontumi, for a Case Management Conference (CMC) on November 2, 2026. The case involves a financial loss of over GH¢30 million to the Ghana Export-Import (EXIM) Bank. Boasiako, a former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), is accused of defrauding by false pretences, uttering forged documents, and causing financial loss to the state. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The court adjourned the case at the request of Boasiako's counsel, Mr Samuel Atta Akyea, who needed time to review the prosecution's disclosures. Prosecutors filed their disclosures on October 23, 2026, and submitted additional documents on October 26, 2026. Boasiako's co-defendants, Wontumi Farms Limited and Thomas Antwi Boasiako, are currently at large.",
