The recent decision by the Attorney General to withdraw charges against Edward Akuoko, General Manager of Akonta Mining Company Limited, has drawn sharp criticism from Wontumi’s lawyer, Andy Appiah-Kubi, who warned that such actions could undermine the course of justice.
Appiah-Kubi stressed that while the Attorney General has the legal right to withdraw charges, his dual role as Minister for Justice carries a heightened responsibility to ensure fairness.
