The Law to discuss Akonta Mining and Sedina judgements

The appellate court held that the prosecution failed to prove its case to the required legal standard and identified flaws in the trial proceedings, a decision that has fuelled discussions on prosecutorial standards, corruption prosecutions and the evidentiary threshold required for criminal convictions.

The Accra High Court convicted both Wontumi and Akonta Mining, a ruling that has ignited debate over the enforcement of Ghana's mining laws, environmental protection and criminal accountability in the fight against illegal mining.

Hosted by Samson Anyenini, The Law will unpack the legal reasoning behind both judgements and explore their implications for Ghana's criminal justice system, anti-corruption efforts and the rule of law.
