One of the prominent features of the John Agyekum Kufuor administration is the legal battle between the state and the former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Tsatsu Tsikata.
Tsatsu Tsikata was prosecuted and controversially jailed by the state for willfully causing financial loss to the state.
While serving his sentence at the Nsawam Medium Security Prison, Tsatsu Tsikata fell ill and was admitted to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.
The situation compelled then-President John Agyekum Kufuor to grant a pardon to the legal luminary, who is a member of the National Democratic Congress.
