The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, has revealed that Solomon Asamoah, a former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) who played a part in the payment of some 2 million dollars for the botched Accra Sky train project, is currently hiding in Senegal.
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, 24th March, Mr Ayine disclosed that Solomon Asamoah left Ghana on 2nd February, initially travelling to South Africa before relocating to Senegal.
“The CEO is hiding in Senegal. We tracked him first to South Africa, and now he is in Senegal. When we contacted him, he told us he would not return to Ghana until three months from now, and we are patiently waiting for him. If he does not return, he will be tried in absentia” he noted.
The Attorney-General further stated that the $2 million payment in question was made at the request of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of GIIF, Prof Ameyaw Ekumfi, and Solomon Asamoah, the CEO.
