The state has for the second time dragged former Director-General of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), Mr Ernest Thompson, and four others back to the Accra High Court for allegedly causing financial loss of $14.8 million to the state.
The Attorney General (A-G) amended the charge sheet in conformity with a ruling by the Supreme Court, which upheld a Court of Appeal decision that 10 out of 29 charges against the accused persons had no sufficient particulars as required by the 1992 Constitution.
The move followed a decision by the Supreme Court that the charge relating to causing financial loss to the state had no sufficient particulars of offence.
