PWREP challenges prosecution to prove GH¢49.1m in Adu-Boahene trial was public money
The Parties Without Representation in Parliament (PWREP) has challenged the prosecution in the trial of former National Signals Bureau Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene to establish that the GH¢49.1 million at the centre of the case was public money. The group argues that the State must prove the ownership and source of the disputed funds rather than rely solely on evidence that money was transferred between bank accounts. According to PWREP, the prosecution must demonstrate whether the funds formed part of an approved government allocation or were released through the government's financial management system. It maintains that establishing the public ownership of the money is central to proving the alleged theft and financial loss to the State.
