Your Own Witnesses Are Destroying Your Case – Minority Fires Warning at Attorney-General

A group of political parties without representation in Parliament has urged the Attorney General to withdraw from a case in which, they argue, the state’s own witnesses have undermined the prosecution, warning that continuing the matter will only bring further embarrassment to the State.

The parties—listed as GUM, NDP, PNP, GFP, GCPP, and LPG—made their position clear in a statement, insisting that when a party’s own witnesses destroy its case, there is effectively no case left to pursue. They contended that the Attorney General should recognize this reality and act to save the State from additional embarrassment.

According to the parties, the testimony of the state’s own witnesses has fatally weakened the prosecution’s position, leaving the case without a solid foundation. They argued that pressing on with such a matter would be futile and would only expose the State to ridicule and wasted resources.

The statement reflects growing concern among the smaller political parties about the conduct of state prosecutions and the need for the Attorney General to exercise sound judgment in deciding which cases to pursue. By calling on the AG to act, the parties are pressing for accountability and prudence in the handling of public prosecutions.

The parties emphasized that their intervention is aimed at protecting the integrity of the State and preventing it from being dragged into a legal battle that, in their view, cannot be won. They argued that it is better to cut losses than to continue with a case that has been undermined by the state’s own witnesses.

The call from the political parties adds to the public debate over the case and the performance of the Attorney General’s office. It remains to be seen whether the AG will heed their advice and take steps to bring the matter to a close.

For now, the parties have made their position clear: a case destroyed by its own witnesses is no case at all, and the Attorney General should act decisively to spare the State further embarrassment.
