In a post on X, Dr Justice Srem-Sai stated, “CASE UPDATE: The Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Prof Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi (Sky Train)
The two accused persons have finally filed their witness statements. They filed them yesterday – the deadline that the Court gave them.
This means that they are ready to explain why the Court should not convict them for the missing US$ 2 million public money”.
Solomon Asamoah and Prof. Ameyaw Ekumfi are standing trial over allegations that $2 million was paid towards the Skytrain project without the approval of the GIIF Board.
Mr Asamoah is a former CEO of GIIF, while Prof. Ameyaw Ekumfi is a former Board Chairman of the Fund.
