An Accra High Court has scheduled July 23, 2025, to start the trial of the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund, Professor Christopher Ameyaw Ekumfi; and the former Chief Executive, Solomon Asamoah, over the $2 million Accra Sky Train project.
The two former officials are standing trial for allegedly transferring the $2m from GIIF's account into Africa Investor Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in South Africa, without board approval for the purpose of acquiring shares as part of the deal.
At the hearing on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, lawyers for Prof Ameyaw formally withdrew their earlier application seeking to strike out the charges against their client.
This withdrawal followed a motion filed by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akurutinga Ayine, seeking an abridgement of time to argue against the application, which had initially been scheduled for hearing on July 3 but was adjourned due to the absence of defence counsel.
