Two former officials from the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund have not yet filed their defense in the Sky Train trial. These officials are former Chief Executive Officer Solomon Asamoah and former Board Chairman Prof. Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi.
The Deputy Attorney-General, Justice Srem-Sai, confirmed this development. He stated that the deadline for the accused persons to submit their defense is nearing.
The Sky Train project has been the subject of legal proceedings. Details of the charges against the former officials were not provided in this report.
The legal team for Mr. Asamoah and Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi has not yet commented on the delay in filing their defense.
This case involves significant public funds and infrastructure development. The outcome of the trial is anticipated by many.
Further court dates will be set once the defense has been filed. The Judicial Service will manage the next steps in the legal process.
