The legal team of the embattled Ashanti Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, has confirmed that they have fulfilled the GH₵50 million bail conditions set by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
In an interview on Friday, May 30, 2025, lead counsel Andy Appiah-Kubi told JoyNews that all necessary documentation for the two sureties has been completed, with significant assistance from former Minister for Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong. "We have been able to provide the sureties, that one, I can assure you, and I'm very grateful to Honourable Bryan Acheampong, who has supported me to file the documents," Appiah-Kubi said.
He added, "He has brought his documents, which go over and above the value of money that is required.
So I thank you very much." Chairman Wontumi was granted bail on Tuesday, May 27, requiring GH₵50 million with two justified sureties, following his arrest by EOCO on suspicions of fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes.
