Since Gold Coast, national security has never faced an open trial – Atta Akyea

Samuel Atta Akyea, Chairman of the the Parliamentary Select Committee on Mines and Energy, and MP for Abuakwa South Lawyer for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahen, Samuel Atta Akyea, says the trial involving his client presents an unprecedented challenge because national security matters have historically not been subjected to open court proceedings.“I mean to come to terms with a case that since Guggisberg time or the Gold Coast, a national security matter has never been a subject matter of an open trial, you think it’s a small case that we are doing,” he said.“Dangerous president that, because of one man, let’s cancel the whole of the submarine tactics of national security and put national security on trial,” he said.
