Ghana’s Attorney General has opposed a defence motion seeking full evidence disclosure in the criminal case against businessman Kwabena Adu Boahene.
During Thursday’s Case Management Conference, Deputy AG Justice Srem Sai dismissed requests for additional bank records and National Security account transactions as “immaterial” to the charges.
Defence lawyer Samuel Atta Akyea accused prosecutors of “cherry-picking” evidence, claiming incomplete bank statements withheld potentially exonerating material. He specifically demanded transaction records from the National Security Operational Account since 1992, arguing they could establish patterns relevant to Boahene’s defence. “The prosecution must disclose all investigative material—not just what supports their case,” Akyea asserted.
Srem Sai countered that Boahene could independently access his bank records without court intervention, calling the national security request “overly broad and irrelevant.” The High Court adjourned until July 3, 2025, pending a ruling on the disclosure motion. Boahene faces financial misconduct charges and maintains his innocence.
