Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo <\/strong><\/p>\n

The trial of the
\nNational Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel
\nOfosu-Ampofo, and one of the party\u2019s leading communications officers, Kwaku
\nBoahen, has been adjourned to July 30.<\/p>\n

This is to allow
\nlawyer for the embattled chairman charged over leaked tape \u2013 one being the
\nkidnappings of family members of political opponents \u2013 to serve the Attorney
\nGeneral\u2019s Department with their application to stay proceedings.<\/p>\n

Tony Lithur, counsel
\nfor Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo, was expected to move the motion on Tuesday but the court,
\npresided over by Justice Samuel Kwame Asiedu, had to adjourn the matter because
\nthe Attorney-General (A-G) was not served with the application.\n<\/p>\n

Trial<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo
\nhas been charged with one count of conspiracy to cause harm and two counts of
\nassault against a public officer, while Kwaku Boahen is facing one count of
\nconspiracy to cause harm.<\/p>\n

They were both
\ngranted bail of GH\u00a2100,000, with one surety each.<\/p>\n

The NDC chairman
\nwas captured on tape allegedly planning to commit crimes in the country and
\nturn round to blame the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n

According to the
\nA-G, the NDC gurus also incited party members to mount a relentless \u2018war\u2019 on
\nthe chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, and Chairman of
\nthe National Peace Council, Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante.<\/p>\n

Dismissed Applications <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo
\nhad earlier filed an application challenging the two charges of assault against
\na public officer. It was dismissed by the court.<\/p>\n

The court also dismissed another application by Kwaku Boahen to strike out the charge of conspiracy to cause harm.<\/p>\n
