Ghana’s leading total beverage company Guinness Ghana has announced the launch of Gordon’s Pink berry, a pink flavoured spirit drink with the sweetness of raspberries.
Gordon’s Pink berry was launched during this year’s Shades of Love concert by Akwaboah in Kumasi last saturday.
This addition to Gordon’s range offers a delicate fruity sweetness of pink berries combined with the crisp freshness of juniper.
According to Guinness Ghana, Gordon’s Pink berry is a response to the growing demand for light and versatile spirits among young Ghanaians looking for quality and substance in their drink choices.
Commenting on the launch of Gordon’s Pink berry flavoured spirit drink, James Boakye Sarfo, Commercial Director at Guinness Ghana, said: “We understand that the colour pink has been associated with femininity, but with Gordon’s Pink Berry, we wanted to challenge that notion and offer a new take on the colour.”
He further added “We believe that pink is a colour that transcends gender. Gordon’s Pink berry is for progressive and open-minded individuals who believe pink is bold, sweet, friendly and inviting. To this end, we are encouraging Ghanaians to #PinkDifferently.”
Michael Acheampong, the Marketing Manager, Innovations at Guinness Ghana said: “We are thrilled to launch Gordon’s Pink berry and bring a refreshingly vibrant, playful and stylish world of pink to Ghanaians.”
The lush launch event saw a myriad of celebrities, influencers and consumers coming together to celebrate the newest addition to the Guinness Ghana family of beverages.
The prosecution has officially rested its case in The Republic v Solomon Asamoah & Another, the high-profile legal battle commonly referred to as the “Sky Train” case.
The Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai announced the development, praising the state’s team of hard-working prosecutors for successfully anchoring the state’s evidence before the High Court.
The criminal trial centers on the former Chief Executive Officer and the former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF).
The duo stands accused of illegally authorizing and paying out US$2 million to a foreign company without obtaining board directives or other mandatory statutory approvals.
State investigators have confirmed that the disbursed millions cannot be found.
Following the closure of the prosecution’s case, the accused persons moved the court for an opportunity to file a submission of no case.
The presiding judge granted the application, ordering the defense to submit their arguments by June 8.
The outcome of the June 8 filings will decide the fate of the trial:
With this, if the judge finds the defense’s submission convincing, the accused will be acquitted and discharged however, If the judge dismisses the submission, the court will order the accused officials to take the stand and explain why they should not face prison sentences.
