‘How does Deputy AG know registrar hasn’t received Atta Akyea’s vacation absence letter?’ – Tuah-Yeboah asks
Former Deputy Attorney General has questioned the basis of the Deputy Attorney General’s claim that Samuel Atta Akyea, lead counsel for former National Signals Bureau Director Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife, Angela Adjei Boateng had not formally written to the court to explain his inability to appear during the legal vacation.
Deputy Attorney General has raised doubts about the legitimacy of claims that lead counsel Samuel Atta Akyea, representing former National Signals Bureau Director Kwabena Adu-Boahene, had not formally written to the court to explain his absence during legal proceedings. Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, the Deputy Attorney General, stated that lawyers typically inform the judge through the court's registrar when they are unable to attend.
Atta Akyea had reportedly sent a letter to the judge explaining his inability to appear and requested postponement of the proceedings until the legal vacation ended. However, the Deputy Attorney General denied that such a letter had been submitted, suggesting it had been sent to the Attorney General's office instead and deemed frivolous.
Tuah-Yeboah challenged this narrative, asserting that the correct method of communication is via the court registrar, not directly to the judge. He questioned the Deputy Attorney General's source of information and whether the registrar had received the letter. Tuah-Yeboah described the allegations of the registrar not receiving the communication as "rich and very curious," suggesting that such matters should be clarified by judicial officials rather than inferred by political entities.
He emphasized that verifying communication status directly with the court registrar is the appropriate course of action when there is doubt.
