The AG, referring to the suit filed against the former COCOBOD boss, stated that he allegedly received GH¢25,000 bribe to influence the performance of his work in awarding Agricult Ghana Limited, a contract to supply Lithovit fertilizer to COCOBOD. Ms Gloria Akuffo was reacting to an oral application for bail made by Samuel Codjoe, counsel for Dr Opuni, who believes that the money quoted to have been given to Mr Opuni should be considered a ‘misdemeanor’ although the prosecution deems it a bribe. The AG subsequently prayed the court to commiserate the terms of bail with the GH¢25,000 allegation leveled against the two. The National Democratic Congress (NDC) had bused supporters to the court with their leaders behind them. Dr Opuni and Mr Seidu Agongo are before an Accra High Court for causing financial loss to the state to the tune of GH?217,370,289.22.
