Plea talks for Chairman Wontumi hit a wall as the thirty-day clock ticks down. Deputy Attorney-General Justice Srem-Sai confirmed no deal exists yet in the Exim Bank trial. The statutory window closes next week without any breakthrough between prosecutors and the accused NPP Ashanti Regional Chair.

Bernard Antwi-Boasiako faces charges alongside two others over a massive farming loan scam. Authorities claim they pulled fourteen point three million cedis from the Ghana Export-Import Bank using fake documents between 2018 and 2022. A forged receipt allegedly helped secure another four million cedis on top of that initial haul.

Money laundering and fraudulent breach of trust charges stick to the group. Prosecutors say Exim Bank lost over thirty million cedis total due to these shady transactions. The defendants deny everything but chose negotiation paths instead of immediate trials.

Accra High Court pushed the next hearing to July 27 to buy more discussion time. Judges want updates on whether both sides can finally agree before proceeding. This delay gives lawyers one last shot at resolving the mess outside full courtroom battles.

Wontumi Farms Limited sits at the center of this financial controversy. Legal teams must report back soon if they cracked the code or if standard trial procedures take over completely.
