The Supreme Court has given the go-ahead for the trial involving a former CEO of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund and a former board member to continue. The court's decision allows legal proceedings to move forward.
Solomon Asamoah, who was the Chief Executive Officer, and Prof. Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi, a former board member, are facing charges. These charges relate to a payment of $2 million made for a Skytrain project.
Prosecutors allege that the payment was made without the necessary approval from the GIIF board. This action is at the center of the ongoing legal case.
The Supreme Court's ruling means the case will now proceed to further stages in the judicial process. The specifics of the board approval process are expected to be a key focus.
Details of the Skytrain project and the financial transactions are part of the evidence being examined. The court's decision upholds the continuation of the investigation into these matters.
The Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund is a state entity focused on financing infrastructure projects.
