In a trial involving ex-National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene and his wife Angela Adjei-Boateng, former Director-General Samuel Atta Akyea is expected to wrap up his cross-examination of the prosecution's final witness, Frank Cromwell Marshall. The lawyer's examination has revealed gaps in the case against the couple.
One key issue is the Attorney General's description of the National Security Coordinator's bank account as 'State BNC', while the Bureau account was described as 'Private BNC'. The witness confirmed that Mr. Adu-Boahene did not have sole control of the account, and about GH¢9.5 million was paid directly to Israeli company ISC Holdings.
The investigator and defence also pointed out that there is no government agency called 'State BNC', which was actually a special operations account operated by the National Security Coordinator at Fidelity Bank. Two signatures were needed for withdrawals, meaning Mr. Adu-Boahene alone could not access the funds without approval from another signatory.
The defence argues that the funds were connected to National Security operations, and the evidence does not prove the entire GH¢49.1 million was allocated solely for cyber-defence procurement. Atta Akyea pointed to the bank statement showing deposits made by Mr. Adu-Boahene and security operatives, suggesting that some of the funds became government property when deposited into the Coordinator's account.
