Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), has spoken publicly for the first time since his arraignment in connection with the controversial Sky Train project, declaring his innocence and expressing heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received.

In a personal statement released on Friday, May 30, Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi confirmed that he has pleaded not guilty to all charges brought against him, emphasising his commitment to transparency and accountability—values he says must be upheld within a framework of justice and fairness.

“I welcome the opportunity to clear my name and have full confidence in my innocence,” he added.

The former Minister of Education, who served in various capacities under the John Agyekum Kufuor administration, is among former GIIF officials facing prosecution over the failed $2.3 billion Sky Train project.

The initiative, launched in 2019 as part of efforts to modernise Ghana’s urban transport system, was suspended amid procurement concerns and questions about its financial viability.

Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi described the period following the news of his arraignment as “challenging,” but noted that he has been deeply moved by the outpouring of solidarity.

He expressed gratitude to his family, close friends, and legal counsel for their steadfast support during what he called a trying time.

“Their encouragement has strengthened my resolve to stay the course,” he said.

Significantly, Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi also acknowledged support from key political figures. He extended special thanks to former Assin Central MP, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, whom he described as showing “Santaclausian brotherliness”.

He also lauded Techiman South MP, Hon. Martin Kwaku Agyei Mensah Korsah, whose support, according to him, “exemplifies the enduring strength of family ties.” Both figures are known allies within the New Patriotic Party (NPP), where Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi remains a respected elder.
