A member of Bernard Antwi Boasiako’s legal team, Enoch Afoakwah, has lashed out at Deputy Attorney General Justice Srem Sai, accusing him of political interference and misrepresentation in the ongoing case involving the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.

Speaking on AsaasePa 107.3 FM’s political show Atumpan, hosted by Bonohene Baffour-Awuah, Afoakwah said he was taken aback by Srem Sai’s recent public claims that Wontumi is being investigated for multiple criminal offences, including fraud, causing financial loss to the state, and money laundering.

“I don’t want to believe Dr. Justice Srem Sai wrote this,” Afoakwah remarked with visible disbelief. “It smacks of political interference. As a Deputy AG, he ought to be properly briefed before making such a serious claim publicly,” he said.

Afoakwah argued that the statements made by the Deputy Attorney General were not grounded in law but were politically charged and prejudicial.

“It’s either he wasn’t properly briefed by the CID, or he is trying to build political capital by making prejudicial statements,” he said.

He further described the Deputy AG’s conduct as a dangerous deviation from due process and insisted that it undermines the basic rights of his client.

“This is not law at play. This is raw political manoeuvring. The man [Wontumi] has been denied his basic rights. All well-meaning Ghanaians must speak out against this abuse,” Afoakwah asserted.

Justice Srem Sai had earlier disclosed that Chairman Wontumi was under dual strands of investigation—one relating to suspected financial crimes and another linked to a broader international organised crime network, in collaboration with foreign law enforcement agencies.
