Andy Appiah-Kubi, lead counsel for embattled (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has dismissed claims by some party members that he was lenient in handling his client's legal battle with the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).
Speaking on Morning Starr with Naa Dedei Tettey on Friday, July 4, Appiah-Kubi stressed that his approach to the case was strictly guided by legal principles, not emotions or political pressure. "I was faced with a lot of criticisms as to what I should have done, what I didn't do and things like that.
But you know that I carried my head, and I said that I want to practice the law the way I understand it to the benefit of my client.
And therefore, I wasn't going to listen to people who were just flying criticisms and accusations and again, politics into it," he said.
