Follow the evidence, not assumptions, in Baffour Awuah case – Victoria Bright

Ms Bright said the answers could establish whether the settlement was the result of a properly authorised commercial decision or whether someone acted without the necessary authority.

Ms Bright said information already available in the public domain raised questions about the transaction that, in her view, warranted investigation.
