Gifty Oware-Mensah has again asked the court to stop her trial. She is the former Deputy Executive Director of the National Service Authority.
This new application was filed at the Criminal Division of the High Court in Accra. It asks for proceedings to be put on hold.
The purpose of this request is to wait for a decision from the Court of Appeal. The appeal concerns a previous legal issue in her case.
Her legal team hopes this will pause the current trial proceedings while the higher court reviews the matter.
Legal filings indicate an aim to ensure all prior legal challenges are resolved before the main trial continues.
The specific details of the previous legal matter under appeal were not immediately clear.
This development marks another step in the ongoing legal proceedings against Ms. Oware-Mensah.
The High Court will now consider this application to stay proceedings.
