Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai has told the court that a video recorded by a lawyer for Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, supports the argument that the politician could be a flight risk.
The statement comes amid legal proceedings involving the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to the Deputy Attorney-General, the video in question is relevant to the court’s consideration of whether Wontumi could evade the legal process.
The prosecution’s position places the video at the centre of arguments concerning Wontumi’s conduct and the conditions under which he should remain available to the court.
However, the claim that someone is a flight risk is an argument to be considered by the court. It does not, on its own, establish that the person intends to flee or will fail to comply with court orders.
The court’s decision will depend on the evidence presented and the applicable legal standards.
Srem-Sai Makes Remark to Chief Justice
In a separate development, Deputy Attorney-General Dr Justice Srem-Sai reportedly told the Chief Justice, “We’ll squeeze the best out of you before you retire.”
The remark has drawn attention because of its reference to the Chief Justice’s remaining time in office and the work expected during that period.
Further details about the circumstances surrounding the comment would help clarify its meaning and the context in which it was made.
Both developments have placed Srem-Sai’s courtroom arguments and public remarks in the spotlight.
As the legal proceedings continue, the court’s decisions and any further official statements will be important in establishing the next steps in Wontumi’s case.
