Opuni and Agongo both pleaded not guilty on the first day of the trial and has been granted GHS 300,000 bail.
The Attorney-General who was in court to handle the state’s case did not oppose the bail application.
She, however, reminded her opposing counsel that bribery attracts 25 years imprisonment and is not a misdemeanour.
