THE former Chief Executive of the Ghana@50 Secretariat, Dr Charles Wereko-Brobby, and a former Chief of Staff, Mr Kwadwo Mpiani, are to appear in court to face charges of wilfully causing financial loss to the state.
The Attorney-General is expected to read out the full charges to the two men when they appear at the Commercial Court today.
The two men were officially charged when they responded to an invitation to the Headquarters of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) yesterday.
Sources at the CID Headquarters told the Daily Graphic that Dr Wereko-Brobby had gone there in the company of his lawyer, Mr Akoto Ampaw, while Mr Egbert Faibille accompanied Mr Mpiani.
They said the two men had indicated that whatever they had done had been in the line of their duty.
Counsel for Mr Mpiani, Mr Faibille, confirmed to the Daily Graphic soon after they had left the CID Headquarters that his client and Dr Wereko-Brobby had been officially charged.
He said they would be in court today to listen to whatever was there for them.
The government on Wednesday accepted the recommendations of the commission of inquiry into the Ghana@50 celebrations and directed that the two men be prosecuted.
