According to a report by graphic.com.gh, the order was issued by Justice Francis Aponga Achiponga during a case management conference held on Thursday, January 29, 2026. On disclosures, Woode told the court that the Republic had already filed some witness statements with attached exhibits and served them on the accused persons. “In view of the outstanding disclosures and the ongoing international processes, the prosecution applied for more time,” the report stated. The OSP has filed 78 charges against Ofori-Atta and seven others over alleged corruption and procurement-related offences linked to revenue assurance contracts with Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Limited (SML). The High Court charge sheet, filed on November 18, 2025, accuses the group of conspiring to improperly influence a procurement process to secure an unfair advantage, contrary to Ghana’s Criminal Offences Act and the Public Procurement Act.
