Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Haruna Mohammed, has criticised the bail conditions imposed on the former CEO of the National Buffer Stock Company, Abdul-Wahab Hannan, and his wife, describing them as a deliberate attempt to prolong their detention under the guise of legal procedure.
Speaking on the Channel One Newsroom on Sunday, June 29, Mohammed questioned the rationale behind the GHS60 million bail condition placed on Mr.
Hannan and the GHS30 million set for his wife-each with sureties, some justified-following their arrest by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) over alleged procurement and financial irregularities. "For one individual to be charged GHS60 million on bail conditions with two sureties justified, then the wife GHS30 million with two sureties, one justified-what at all, what crime?
Did they break into the Bank of Ghana vault that should warrant this?" he asked.
