Adu-Boahene Case: Where there are witches they need to be hunted-Yammin
National Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Joseph Yammin says there is nothing wrong with witch-hunting “witches” if there are any in the system.
Joseph Yammin who was asked in an interview on Kessben TV whether or not the treatment being given to Mr. Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former Director of the National Signals Bureau, did not amount to witch-hunting, stated that the government has no desire to witch-hunt anyone but “if there are witches, they need to be hunted”.
Former National Signals Bureau boss, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, remains in custody despite completing the court’s seven working day remand directive.
The former security chief, on trial for charges including stealing, money laundering, and causing financial loss to the state, was initially remanded on Friday, May 2, over allegations of witness tampering.
However, his lawyer, Samuel Atta Akyea, informed the court on Tuesday, May 13, that his client had been rearrested on a separate matter after the initial remand period had lapsed.
Although he did not provide details about the new arrest, the Attorney General had earlier indicated that Adu-Boahene was under investigation in connection with an internet connectivity case at Ghana Water Limited.
Regarding the current case involving the alleged diversion of GH¢49.1 million, the judge has adjourned proceedings to May 26 for a case management conference.
The state has filed all its witness statements and is expected to disclose them to the defense by no later than May 20.
Commenting on the matter, Joseph Yammin, recounted that “when former President Akufo-Addo came to power, he placed all contracts on hold and said he was auditing all those contracts. Do you think he would have clapped for the persons involved if he had found rot?”
The NDC organizer insisted that Mr. Adu-Boahene is being taken through lawful processes and will be dealt with in accordance with the law.
