An Accra Fast Track High Court has adjourned the case involving Abuga Pele, the former National Co-ordinator for GYEEDA and Philip Akpeena Assibit, a representative from Goodwill International Ghana to enable prosecution produce their witness in court.
Mrs Yvonne Attakora Obuobisa, Chief State Attorney prayed the court for an adjournment because her witness had informed her at the last minute that he was writing an examination.
Pele, and Assibit are facing various charges for causing financial loss of GH₵ 41.1 million to the state.
The state has accused Assibit of putting in false claims that he had secured a $65-million World Bank funding for the creation of one million jobs for the youth which led government to part with GH₵ 4.1 million.
Pele is also alleged to have entered into a contract with Assibit to engage in activities which have injured the state financially.
They both pleaded not guilty to all charges and are on bail.
The case was adjourned to November 18 and 19.
