Former Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, has offered himself as one of the sureties for Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi was recently granted bail in the sum of GH¢10 million, with two sureties required to justify the amount with landed property located in the Greater Accra Region.
During the court proceedings on Monday, May 26, Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi’s legal team, led by Duke Aaron Sasu, appealed for bail to be granted on the accused’s own recognisance. They cited his long record of public service, advanced age, and underlying health conditions as grounds for leniency in the bail terms.
The Deputy Attorney General, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai, did not oppose the bail request but urged the court to apply strict conditions.
Justice Comfort Tasiame settled on a bail amount of GH¢10 million with the condition of two sureties, both to be justified with landed property within the Greater Accra Region. Kennedy Agyapong, who was present in court, volunteered as one of the sureties as the legal team works to meet the bail conditions.
