Former Foreign Minister under the erstwhile Kufuor administration has formally been charged with causing financial loss to the state. Sources close to the the former minister say his lawyers are most likely to enter a plea of not guilty. He has since been on a GHc500,000 bail. Mr Osei-Adjei had been undergoing investigation in a case bordering on the Government of Ghana's negotiations with the Government of India to waive a ban on the exportation of rice into Ghana. The former Foreign Minister had earlier dragged to court the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, and the Director of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), demanding his passport which was seized by the BNI.
