The Court of Appeal has dismissed an application by Professor Ameyaw Ekumfi, the former board chair of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund, seeking to stop the Sky Train case.
Professor Ekumfi had asked the court to halt proceedings against him and others involved in the case.
The court's decision means the case will proceed as planned.
Those accused in the Sky Train case are now required to begin presenting their defence.
This defence must be presented by September 23.
The Judicial Service confirmed the ruling and the upcoming deadline for the defence.
This development moves the Sky Train case closer to a resolution.
Further court dates will be set for the defence to be heard.
