Deputy Minister of Finance in the NDC government, Mr Victor Selormey has been in court these past number of weeks on trial for alleged corruption when he was in office.
The former minister has pleaded not guilty and has been very regular at court with his lawyers.
According to The Accra Mail, he is a man with a wide girth, which seems to have reduced somewhat since he started appearing in court.
The paper says a name that has been featuring in the proceedings has been that of one Dr Boadu resident in the United States. So far he has remained a mystery to most Ghanaians.
The paper says it has laid hands on exclusive personal data on one Dr Boadu, certified by one of its US correspondents as that of Dr Boadu.
The doctors of letters, from the bio data available has impressive credentials and pedigree.
Mr Selormey’s trial is based on the allegation that he conspired with Dr Frederick Owusu Boadu to defraud the state to the tune of US $1,297,500.
The company, Leebda, through which the funds were supposedly channeled is a phony and does not even exist.
