The Accra High Court has given lawyers for a former National Signals Bureau official an extra day to question a witness. This decision came after the defence requested more time.
Samuel Atta Akyea, the lead lawyer for the former Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, explained the need for additional questioning. He stated he had prepared around 60 questions for the fourth prosecution witness.
Atta Akyea plans to reduce his questions to approximately 40 to fit the allotted time. The court's decision allows for a more thorough examination of the evidence presented by the prosecution.
The case involves allegations against the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau. Further details of the case are being presented in court.
The court's ruling ensures that the defence has adequate opportunity to challenge the prosecution's evidence. This is a standard part of the legal process in Ghana.
