Former Board Chair of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, has broken his silence following his arraignment in the high-profile Sky Train case, affirming his innocence and expressing confidence in Ghana's judicial process.
In a personal statement issued Friday, May 30, the former Education Minister stated emphatically that he has pleaded not guilty to the charges brought against him, describing the case as an opportunity to vindicate himself through due process. "I remain a firm believer in accountability pursued within the bounds of fairness and justice," Prof.
Ameyaw-Akumfi said. "I welcome the opportunity to clear my name and have full confidence in my innocence." The veteran academic and statesman is among former officials facing prosecution over the controversial $2 million Sky Train project, a flagship urban transport initiative launched under the previous NPP administration.
Prosecutors allege financial mismanagement and irregularities during the project's preliminary phases.
