This is no case for junior lawyers – Atta Akyea Explains Why He Must Defend Adu-Boahene
Lawyer for former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, Samuel Atta Akyea, has defended his decision to personally lead his client’s defence, insisting the case is too significant to be handled by junior lawyers.
According to the former Energy Minister, Adu-Boahene needs his experience and “gravitas” to navigate what he considers an unprecedented national security case.
Mr Atta Akyea argued that the case presents an unusual challenge because national security matters have historically not been subjected to open trials.
