Former chief executive of the Ghana COCOBO Dr. Stephen Opuni who has been accused of corruption and causing financial loss to the state among others, is expected to be in court today (Friday) for the first time to answer charges against him.

He will be the first key member of the Mahama-led government to be charged for prosecution since President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo took over the governance of the country on January 7, 2017.

Dr. Opuni and one Siedu Agongo variously face a total of 27 charges of abetment of crime, conspiracy to commit crime, defrauding by false pretences, willfully causing financial loss to the state, contravention of the public procurement act and corruption by public officer.

Barring any surprise in court today, the plea of Dr. Opuni and his accomplice will be taken to set the stage for the first of a number of such prosecutions to take place in the coming days.

Chief State Attorney at the Attorney General’s Depart, Evelyn D. Keelson, who signed the charges against the two is expected to lead a team of prosecutors for the case.

Dr. Opuni’s lawyers are expected to apply for bail once his plea is taken.
