705 A GH¢25,000 bribe allegedly paid by businessman, Seidu Agongo, to Dr Stephen Kwabena Opuni, a former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD), became the focus of the trial of the two at the Accra High Court last Thursday. The investigator, Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Prempeh Mercer, testified that Agongo, in his statement to the police, admitted giving the money to Dr Opuni to help him (Opuni) cater for the needy. Chief Inspector Mercer, who is the seventh prosecution witness, was answering questions during cross examination by lawyer for Dr Opuni, Mr Samuel Cudjoe. Counsel wanted the witness to agree with him that Dr Opuni never received any GH¢25,000 from Agongo.
