An adjournment of Bernard Antwi Boasiako's bail application, also known as Chairman Wontumi, has been set for October 15, 2026. This decision followed his absence from court during the original hearing. Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem-Sai, was present during the adjournment. Wontumi's legal team filed the bail application after he became entangled in a criminal case.
They are requesting his release on bail while the case proceeds. However, the court was unable to finalize the bail application due to Wontumi's and his lawyers' non-attendance. This situation occurs during the lawyers' annual vacation, a period when court operations are limited, although urgent matters can still be addressed. Therefore, the bail application has been postponed to October 15, when it is anticipated to be reconsidered by the court. Wontumi is currently bound by the court's directives until the bail application is resolved.
