A judge has ordered Kwabena Adu-Boahene, the former head of the National Signals Bureau, to find a new lawyer. This decision comes as Adu-Boahene faces charges of causing financial loss to the state amounting to GH¢49 million.
Justice Francis Achibonga gave Adu-Boahene a clear choice during a court hearing. He must either hire a new legal representative or conduct the cross-examination of the prosecution's witness himself.
The court has scheduled August 17 for Adu-Boahene to either present his new lawyer or begin questioning the witness. This directive aims to move the trial forward.
Adu-Boahene is standing trial along with two other individuals. The charges they face are related to alleged financial losses incurred by the state.
The Judicial Service is overseeing the proceedings. The case involves serious allegations of financial misconduct.
The judge's order emphasizes the importance of proceeding with the trial without further delays.
