Bail Term For Wontumi Is Outrageous; How Many People In Ghana Can Meet That? Dr. Bawumia Fumes At Gov’t

Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has described the bail term for Chairman Wontumi which has been set at GHC50 million as outrageous and one that majority of Ghanaians can never satisfy.

The 2024 Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in an address to the press after making frantic effort to see his embattled Ashanti regional, urged the party members to remain calm as “we work behind the scenes to get him released”.

He however expressed his disappointment over failure to see Chairman Wontumi in person after ensuring all necessary arrangement were made to meet his bail term.

“We made prior arrangements”, he said and slammed government for the amount involved noting that “I don’t know how many people in Ghana can have property with GHC 50 million”.

Dr. Bawumia made it clear that he believes the GHC 50 million bail set for Chairman Wontumi was set “to prevent his timely release”.

Chairman Wontumi is currently in custody at the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) in connection with an on-going investigation.
