Lawyers for have filed a motion at the Accra High Court seeking to halt his ongoing trial on constitutional grounds.
The former Board Chair of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) is standing trial alongside the Fund's former Chief Executive Officer, Solomon Asamoah, for willfully causing financial loss to the state, intentional dissipation of public funds, and conspiracy to commit a crime.
In their application, Professor Ameyaw-Akumfi's legal team is urging the High Court to strike out the charges, describing them as premature.
They are also invoking Article 130(2) of the 1992 Constitution, asking the court to refer key constitutional questions to the Supreme Court for interpretation.
