Lawyer for embattled Ashanti Regional NPP Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, widely known as Chairman Wontumi, has called out Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai for what he describes as a trial by media.
Andy Appiah-Kubi says the Deputy AG has crossed a line by making public pronouncements about his client's legal troubles instead of pursuing formal charges through the courts. "I wonder why he is out there saying this.
It should be on the charge sheet," Appiah-Kubi told Movement TV. "If you bring someone to the public space to prosecute him… this isn't the right thing to do." His reaction follows a widely circulated social media update from Justice Srem-Sai, who confirmed that Chairman Wontumi is under active criminal investigation by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for offences including fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering. "Suspect BERNARD ANTWI BOASIAKO, a.k.a.
Chairman Wontumi, is under investigation for various criminal offences," the Deputy AG wrote.
