The High Court has granted the OSP’s application to serve summons on Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta and his Chief of Staff Ernest Akore.
The Court admitted Emmanuel Kofi Nti, Ammishaddai Owusu-Amoah, Isaac Crentsil, Evans Adusei, and Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd to GH¢50 million bail each, with two sureties to be justified.
They must deposit all passports and travel documents and report to the OSP once every week.
This is contained in a post on the OSP’s Facebook page on December 11.
“Because the Court closed late, the bail terms will take effect on Monday, 15 December, when the accused persons return to complete the bail procedures. Until then, they remain on their existing OSP bail terms,” the OSP’s post read.
The Prosecution’s case is that the accused persons engaged in a scheme to improperly secure procurement contracts for Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd, resulting in financial losses exceeding GH¢1.4 billion.
They are also accused of influencing the procurement process for unlawful gain and using public office for profit. Further billions of dollars were expected to be paid but for the intervention of the State.
The case has been adjourned to 17 December 2025 for Kwadwo Damoah, MP for Jaman South, to appear and take his plea after the Court declined a prosecution request for a bench warrant, holding that he enjoyed parliamentary immunity at the time of service because Parliament was in session on the day in question.
