Former Chief Executive Officer of GIHOC Distilleries Company Limited, Maxwell Kofi Jumah, has yet to meet the terms of a GH¢55 million bail granted by the Economic and Organised Crime Office, as he is currently receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

According to the New Patriotic Party’s Ashanti Regional Communications Director, Paul Yandoh, efforts to secure his release are ongoing but have been delayed due to his medical condition.

Speaking to Class News, Mr Yandoh indicated that Mr Jumah required urgent medical attention and was subsequently admitted to the ICU, a development that has slowed the process of meeting the bail conditions.

Mr Jumah was granted enquiry bail on April 29, but has so far been unable to satisfy the requirements.

His arrest followed a search at his residence in Kumasi as part of ongoing investigations by EOCO into suspected breaches of public financial management rules during his time at GIHOC Distilleries.

Authorities have yet to disclose full details of the allegations, and EOCO has not issued any further updates on the case.
