But while the court awaits the trial, the government has started a well-orchestrated media trial against Dr. Opuni to make its case believable. According to them, some officers of COCOBOD were forced to authorize the procurement of the fertilizers which turned out to be fake and poisonous. Out of the investigations, some officers NPP communicators claim, had been sacked from COCOBOD, while others have been interdicted. Interestingly, none of them is on trial with Dr. Opuni and Seidu Agongo, to establish their complicity in the alleged criminally minded procurements. Curiously, the report of the committee put out in the media is without Dr. Opuni’s response, making it a self-serving document for the management of the COCOBOD.
