In a significant development in Ghana’s high-profile Sky Train case, former Assin Central Member of Parliament, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has stepped forward as a surety for Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, who was granted bail of ₵10 million. This move underscores the intricate ties within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as it navigates the legal challenges facing one of its prominent members.
Professor Ameyaw-Akumfi, a former Minister of Education and ex-Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), faces charges related to the alleged misappropriation of $2 million in the Sky Train project. The Attorney General’s office has filed charges against him and another individual, Solomon Asamoah, over the Accra Sky Train project.
Kennedy Agyapong, known for his outspoken nature and deep involvement in Ghanaian politics, served as the Member of Parliament for Assin Central from 2013 to 2025. His decision to act as a surety for Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi highlights the solidarity within the NPP ranks amidst ongoing legal proceedings.
The Sky Train project, initially envisioned as a transformative transportation initiative for Accra, has come under scrutiny due to financial irregularities. The involvement of high-ranking officials and the substantial bail amount reflect the gravity of the allegations and the government’s commitment to addressing corruption.
As the case unfolds, the Ghanaian public and political observers will be keenly watching the proceedings, which could have broader implications for governance and accountability within the country’s infrastructure projects.
