ORAL has been reduced to a tool for political convenience – Kwesi Botchway Jnr

Mr Botchway said the handling of criminal cases had created a perception, whether based on fact or public interpretation, that individuals associated with the governing party were being treated differently from opposition figures.“The perception out there, or the reality, paints a different perception that you have an Attorney General who has withdrawn every single criminal prosecution case against members who are affiliated to his political party, and has on the other side instituted criminal charges against members of the opposition party,” he said.

The lawyer alleged that the Attorney General had pursued criminal cases involving members of the previous administration while withdrawing cases involving individuals affiliated with the governing political party.
