State prosecutors have questioned the relevance of a request from lawyers of embattled former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director General, Kwabena Adu-Boahene for disclosure of information including national security documents dating back to 1992.
While questioning the basis of the said documents per the request, Deputy Attorney General Dr. Justice Srem Sai said the relevant evidence that pertains to the case may be disclosed.
Acknowledging the importance of disclosures using the practice direction as a guide, the Deputy AG wondered why the Court should have flooded with documents that have no relevance to the matter before the Court.
The Deputy AG was opposing to a request from the embattled NSB former DG and three others – Angela Adjei Boateng, Mildred Donkor and Advantage Solutions who have been charged for allegedly stealing GHc49M earmarked for the purchase of Cyber Security Defense.
In an application filed on June 23, Adu-Boahene and the three other accused persons through their lawyers said they want certain documents disclosed.
Per their request, they are asking among other things for a “further order that the Attorney-General should make full disclosure and produce for inspection and making copies of the various National Security Coordinators’ special operations accounts.”
