M.anifest reflected on Tsatsu Tsikata's imprisonment during his recent appearance on Joy Prime's Prime Time with George Quaye. He recalled being in the United States when news of his father's conviction reached him on June 18, 2008, describing the development as shocking because "it was supposed to be an ordinary court day. There was no reason for it to have gone the way it was. It wasn't even a judgment day."
Tsatsu Tsikata was sentenced to five years imprisonment on June 18, 2008, under the administration of former President John Agyekum Kufuor, after standing trial since 2002 over allegations that a financial guarantee granted to Valley Farms Limited in 1996 had caused financial loss to the state. Years later, the Court of Appeal overturned the conviction, clearing him of all wrongdoing. M.anifest disclosed that his father chose to accept the ruling in good faith despite his innocence.
