An Accra High Court has again adjourned the case of former national service boss, Alhaji Imoro Alhassan, fingered in the biggest payroll fraud scandal to have the country.

Lawyers from the Attorney General’s department requested for more time to conclude their investigations.

This is the 7^th time the case has been adjourned since it began last year.

Mr Imoro is facing a charge of stealing 86.9 million cedis in a major financial fraud that hit the National Service Secretariat.

He was said to have been involved in a fraud that paid allowances to over 22,000 non-existent national service personnel in more than 100 districts across the country.

The illegal activities of the high ranking officials of the national service were uncovered by officials of the Bureau of National Investigations.

The officials were later interdicted and hauled before the courts to answer charges of stealing.

But it appears the state is not yet ready to prosecute.

Kwakye Afreh-Nuamah who was in court reported that the prosecution asked for another adjournment to allow them conclude investigations into the matter.

They prayed the judge to grant them one more month so they would conclude the investigation, a request the judge, Georgina Mensah-Datsa acceded to.

It is not clear if the prosecution will be able to conclude its investigation on the next adjourned date.

According to Afreh-Nuamah the Judge declined the Defence's request for the bail conditions of Imoro Alhassan to be reviewed.

Per the current conditions, the suspect is expected to report to the police station every Wednesday.

However, the judge declined the review application. Hearing will resume later next month.
