The lawyer for embattled Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has revealed that former Agriculture Minister, Bryan Acheampong, played a crucial role in meeting the GH₵50 million bail conditions set by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Speaking in an exclusive interview with JoyNews on Friday, May 30, legal counsel Andy Appiah-Kubi confirmed that all bail requirements have now been met, with Mr Acheampong stepping in to provide property documentation exceeding the financial value required by EOCO. "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," Mr Appiah-Kubi said. "He has brought his documents, which go over and above the value of money that is required.
So I thank him very much." Chairman Wontumi was arrested and detained over allegations of fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes.
Though he was granted bail with two sureties to be justified, efforts to fully meet those conditions took days.
