Prosecutor, Nana Akua Annimwaa Thompson told the court presided over by Dr. Worlanyo Kotoltu, that sparrows production failed to pay the SSNIT contributions of workers totaling 64,203,52 Ghana cedis.
Frimpong-Manso was not in court last Saturday when judgment was pronounced. However, her representative, Kenneth Attoh, a director of the company, was convicted on his admission of guilt.
