The trial judge in the ongoing case involving the immediate past Director General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu Boahene and two others has ordered the accused persons to refrain from initiating any plea bargaining agreement with the state.
According to His Lordship Justice John Eugene Nyante, the option of plea bargaining can only be commenced after the disclosure processes have been filed on the accused persons by the prosecution.
At the hearing today, May 26, the judge has also ordered the prosecution to file all disclosures not later than June 2 after failing to do so on May 20.
Lawyer for the accused persons, Samuel Atta Akyea, said the judge cautioned against premature plea bargaining because it's a variable in the case management process.
