The case of Stephen Asamoah-Boateng, former Minister of Information and National Orientation, his wife, Zulieka Jennifer Lorwia and six public officers was on Tuesday adjourned to January 12, 2011.
This was after Nene Amegatcher, Counsel for the former Minister and his wife had told the court that he had conferred with prosecution and he had been informed that hearing cannot take place hence the need for an adjournment.
The court therefore adjourned the matter.
The accused persons are alleged to have conspired to defraud the State of GH¢ 86,915.85 in renovation works undertaken at the Ministerial Block of the Ministry during Asamoah-Boateng's tenure of Office.
Other accused persons are Frank Agyekum, former Deputy Minister of Information and National Orientation, Dominic A. Sampong, former Acting Chief Director, Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Kwabena Denkyira, former Director of Finance and Administration of the Ministry, Prosper Arku of a non-legal entity firm, and Yasmine Domua, a businesswoman.
Also on trial is the non-legal entity firm, Supreme Procurement Agencies Limited.
They have all pleaded not guilty before the court presided over by Mr Justice Charles Quist.
The court has admitted them to GH¢ 10,000 bail each with a surety.
