PWREP questions State’s case against Adu Boahene, raises concerns over judges’ vehicles

The Parties Without Representation in Parliament (PWREP) has cast doubt on the strength of the State's case against former National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu Boahene. The group contends that the prosecution's evidence has not been robust enough to secure a conviction for Adu Boahene. According to PWREP, the burden of proof lies with the State, and an accused person should not be required to prove their innocence.

The group has expressed concerns about the administration of justice and warned that continuing proceedings without adequate evidence could compromise the fairness of the legal process. PWREP criticized the State for failing to present sufficient evidence to establish a case against Adu Boahene and cautioned against the use of suspicion, fabricated stories, or selective prosecution.

The group emphasized the importance of grounding criminal proceedings in credible evidence. Additionally, PWREP raised questions about the alleged provision of brand-new Toyota Land Cruisers to judges of the Specialized Court. The group expressed concerns over the potential impact on judicial independence, institutional propriety, and public confidence in the administration of justice.

PWREP called for transparent clarification regarding the allegations of vehicle distribution for judges. The statement supporting these concerns was endorsed by representatives from eight political parties.
