Ghana’s Attorney-General is contesting a defense lawyer’s attempt to leave the case of Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, and co-defendants. Lawyer Andy Appiah-Kubi filed an application to withdraw from the criminal proceedings, but the Attorney-General has filed a legal objection with the High Court in Accra. The objection seeks to prevent Appiah-Kubi’s withdrawal, halting the process. Details of the reasons behind the Attorney-General’s opposition have not been publicly disclosed. The case is currently ongoing at the Criminal Division of the High Court. This development introduces a potential delay in the proceedings as the court considers the legal challenge. The specifics of the criminal charges against Chairman Wontumi and others remain undisclosed in this report.
