The Attorney-General's office wants a court to throw out a request by Bernard Antwi Boasiako. Mr. Boasiako is known as Chairman Wontumi. He is currently on trial for allegedly engaging in illegal mining activities.
Mr. Boasiako made a legal move asking the court to end the case against him. This is called a submission of no case to answer.
Prosecutors have responded with their own document. This document asks the Criminal Division of the High Court in Accra to dismiss Mr. Boasiako's request.
The Attorney-General's response was 12 pages long. It was signed by a Deputy Attorney-General.
The illegal mining trial is ongoing. This action by the Attorney-General's office is a step in the legal process.
The court will now consider both sides before making a decision.
The decision will determine if the trial continues against Mr. Boasiako.
This development is part of the ongoing legal proceedings in the case.
