Kwesi Botchway Jnr Esq, a private legal practitioner and a member of the 's (NPP) communication team, has taken exception to the conduct of Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine, describing the ongoing trial of Kwabena Adu Boahene, a former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), as unlawful and improper in the media space.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM's Ekosiisen, Botchway expressed concern over what he sees as an inappropriate public prosecution being waged against Adu Boahene through the media, rather than through the appropriate legal channels. "The Attorney General's focus should be on prosecuting matters in court, not in the media.
The Attorney General is fundamentally an officer of the court, whose duty is to aid the judiciary in administering justice by presenting evidence gathered through proper investigative procedures.
What we are witnessing now is quite the opposite," he stated.
