I’m not using legal vacation to delay Wontumi trial – Atta Akyea
Lead counsel for NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, has rejected claims that the defence is using the judiciary’s legal vacation to delay the ongoing GH¢30 million EXIM Bank fraud trial.
The comments come amid proceedings in the criminal case involving Chairman Wontumi over an alleged GH¢30 million financial loss to the state in connection with an EXIM Bank facility.
Mr Atta Akyea had asked the court to adjourn the matter until October to allow sufficient time for the negotiations, but the court opted for a 30-day period.
