Kenneth Ashigbey denies influencing Wontumi trial, dismisses judge relationship claims as false
"The 20th July 2026 ruling of the Republic v Bernard Antwi Boasiako @ Wontumi, Kwame Antwi (At Large), Akonta Mining Company Limited case has nothing to do with our petition," he said.
Mr Ashigbey also sought to distinguish the concluded Samreboi illegal mining case from a separate petition he filed together with legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, governance advocate Edem Senanu and Dr Kwame Asiedu.
Kenneth Ashigbey, has strongly denied claims that his relationship with the trial judge in the illegal mining case involving NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, influenced the outcome of the proceedings.
