Ghana: $2m Skytrain Trial - Former CEO to Call First Witness

The ongoing trial regarding a disputed $2 million Skytrain purchase in Ghana has reached a new phase as the former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Infrastructure and Investment Fund (GIIF), Mr. Solomon Asamoah, prepares to present his defense. Asamoah, who is accused of causing a financial loss of $2 million to the state in connection with the project, is set to call his first witness to testify before the court.

The case centers on the procurement and financial transactions surrounding the proposed Skytrain initiative in Ghana. With the former GIIF head now moving to call witnesses, the proceedings enter a critical evidentiary stage focused on determining accountability for the state funds expended on the venture.
