A law professor at the University of Ghana, Prof.
Kwadwo Appiagyei-Atua, has stated that the GH¢50 million bail imposed by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) on the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is not excessive under the law.
Commenting on the ongoing case, Prof.
Appiagyei-Atua said the bail amount is within legal bounds and does not appear to violate Wontumi's rights, given the nature of the allegations against him. "I am not sure the 50 million cedis that is part of the bail conditions is too onerous.
