The Accra High Court has rejected a request to postpone the trial of Mustapha Abdul-Hamid. He is the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority.
His lawyer, Joseph Kpemka, asked the court for a long delay. He said he was sick and tired. He also mentioned upcoming professional duties.
The court did not agree with the request for an adjournment. The judge ordered the trial to resume on Wednesday.
This case involves corruption charges against the former NPA boss.
The legal proceedings are taking place in Accra.
The court's decision means the trial will proceed as scheduled without further delay.
