Pension Contributions: SSNIT withdraws case against Ibrahim Mahama

A lawyer for SSNIT, Lina Boakye, said she has instruction from his superiors to withdraw the case.

The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) has withdrawn its case against Ibrahim Mahama after he paid the outstanding SSNIT contributions of his workers.

A lawyer for SSNIT, Lina Boakye, said she has instruction from his superiors to withdraw the case.

Mr Mahama made his first appearance in court today since the case was filed on April 29.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

His lawyers argued that he had cleared his indebtedness to SSNIT before the case was filed on April 29.

But the lawyer for SSNIT disagreed, saying Mr Mahama was summoned on April 13 before he cleared his debt on April 28.

On April 29, Mr Mahama, brother of former president John Mahama, was dragged to court for owing SSNIT contributions of his workers to the tune of GHC 1,056,464.06.
