The Parties Without Representation in Parliament (PWREP) have descended heavily on the Attorney-General over the ongoing trial of the Republic and former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau (NSB), Kwabena Adu-Boahene & Others, insisting the State has failed to prove its case.
Addressing a press conference at Ghana International Press Centre on Monday, 2nd November, 2026, the coalition of parties said the evidence presented by the prosecution’s own witnesses raises serious questions about the foundation of the charges against the former National Signals Bureau boss.
The PWREP comprises the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), National Democratic Party (NDP), People’s National Party (PNP), Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) and the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG).
“The State has had every opportunity to make its case, yet the evidence presented by its own witnesses raises serious questions about the foundation of this prosecution. The truth is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: the State has no case against Adu Boahene,” the group said.
PWREP speakers said justice cannot be built on suspicion and manufactured narratives. They said the burden of proof rests squarely on the State and not on the accused to prove his innocence.
“The State has failed to adduce sufficient evidence to establish a case capable of securing the conviction of Adu Boahene. The prosecution’s case, judged against the evidence on record and the testimony of its own witnesses, remains fundamentally weak,” the parties indicated.
The PWREP further noted that when evidence fails to establish allegations, continued prosecution looks less like the pursuit of justice and more like persecution. They added that an accused person must not be subjected to prolonged prosecution where the evidence is insufficient to sustain the allegations.
The PWREP stressed that justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done and dispensed fairly, impartially and without favour or prejudice. The coalition also raised red flags over claims that judges of the Specialized Court trying the case have received brand-new Toyota Land Cruisers.
They also described the claims as troubling, saying they raise serious questions about judicial independence, institutional propriety and public confidence in the administration of justice.
“The claims about Toyota Land Cruisers deserve transparent clarification. Ghanaians must be assured that justice is being dispensed without inducement,” the PWREP said. The Political Parties Without Representation in Parliament said the prosecution has moved from justice to selective prosecution.
They maintained that the Attorney-General’s case has collapsed and cannot secure a conviction. They said the continued trial despite weak evidence undermines confidence in the justice delivery system.
Question before the Court
The Political Parties Without Representation in Parliament (PWREP) further laid out what it describes as “The Question Before The Court” in the ongoing Republic v. Kwabena Adu-Boahene & Others trial.
According to the coalition, the trial has moved beyond the simplistic narrative of money movement and must now be tested against strict legal thresholds.
The PWREP said the prosecution is not addressing the core issue. “The issue is not simply whether money moved from one bank account to another. It is whether the prosecution has established, through admissible evidence, that the money was public property, that the transactions were unauthorized, that the alleged documents were forged, that the accused acted with the requisite criminal intent and that the State suffered the alleged financial loss,” the group stated.
The parties, which include the GUM, NDP, PNP, GFP, GCPP and LPG, stressed that criminal prosecution must be built on proof of essential elements and not suspicion. “The prosecution must prove the essential elements of each charge. Suspicion, association, account access and the existence of financial transactions cannot, on their own, substitute for proof of the alleged offences,” they said.
The coalition clarified that their analysis is not a declaration of guilt or innocence, but an assessment of the State’s own evidence. “The accused persons have not yet opened their defence. The issues highlighted above arise from the prosecution’s evidence and the submissions now before the court. They are not findings of guilt or innocence,” the PWREP noted.
Concluding its position, the group said the fate of the trial now rests on whether the State has met the minimum legal threshold to even call on the accused to defend themselves.
“Ultimately, the court must determine whether the prosecution has established a case sufficiently compelling to require the accused persons to answer the charges.
“The whole nation awaits the ruling of the court on the submission of no case,” the parties, which include the GUM, NDP, PNP, GFP, GCPP and LPG, further stressed.
