Gifty Oware-Mensah, who used to be the Deputy Executive Director at the National Service Authority, is facing a trial. She has asked the court for another pause.
This new request was submitted to the Criminal Division of the High Court in Accra. It asks for a stay of proceedings, which means halting the trial for a period.
The reason given for this application is to allow the Court of Appeal to decide on an earlier matter. Her legal team hopes this will temporarily stop the current case.
This is not the first time an application has been made to delay the trial. The details of the charges against her have not been made public in this court filing.
The court will now consider this new request. A decision will be made on whether to grant the stay of proceedings.
