Lawyer Questions Adjournment of Chairman Wontumi's Bail Application

Why October for Wontumi’s bail application when it could have been heard in August or September? — Frank Davies

Lawyer for the Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Frank Davies, has questioned the decision to adjourn Chairman Wontumi’s bail application pending appeal to October 15. Mr Davies argued that the application, being an urgent matter involving bail, could have been heard during the legal vacation in August or September rather than being pushed to October. He said the purpose of vacation courts was to deal with urgent and critical applications, including bail matters.
