The High Court in Tamale has ordered all four defendants in the Northern Development Authority (NDA) case by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to open their defence.

They face 11 charges related to corruption and procurement violations in the award and execution of contracts for the NDA.

A while ago in Court, the presiding judge ruled that the state has established a prima facie case against the accused individuals on all 11 counts, compelling them to present their defence.

The OSP brought charges against the four following its investigation prompted by whistleblowers.
