The Attorney-General has told the High Court that it is unable to produce several categories of evidence that the Court of Appeal ordered it to produce in the trial of former National Signals Bureau Director, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, and Advantage Solutions Limited (ASL).
The accused persons are standing trial for allegedly diverting GH¢49.1 million meant for a state cyber defence system.
In a response dated July 1, 2026 and filed at the High Court [copy attached below], a Principal State Attorney from the A-G's office, Esi Dentaa Yankah, said the prosecution had not come into possession of the missing 88 pages of Advantage Solutions Limited's bank statement with Universal Merchant Bank (UMB), one of six items the Court of Appeal had ordered that it should be disclosed on May 28, 2026.
Context
The Court of Appeal on May 28, 2026, partly allowed an appeal by Adu-Boahene and his wife against the Attorney-General over disclosure of evidence in the ongoing trial.
Beyond the missing bank statement pages, the second highest court of the land ordered disclosure of the source of the GH¢49.1 million, portions of the National Security Coordinator's file connected to the matter.
Others include the National Security Coordinator's special operations accounts linked to Adu-Boahene, and correspondence between National Security Coordinator and Adjei-Boateng relating to the special purpose accounts opened at UMB.
A-G's resposne
Responding to item by item, the A-G said the defence already held the full UMB bank statement, having tendered it in its entirety through the second prosecution witness, where it was admitted as Exhibit 15 and Exhibit 15A.
On the remaining orders, the A-G said the prosecution had not obtained and could not disclose the source of the GH¢49.1 million transferred to B.N.C. Communications Bureau Limited's UMB account, a file compiled by Joshua Kyeremeh, National Security Coordinator at the material time, on the cyber defence system acquisition.
The A-G further said it could not disclose correspondence under Kyeremeh's hand, or that of any previous coordinator, the vetting of ASL or the opening of special purpose accounts, the special operations accounts themselves, and whether the GH¢49.1 million, converted by the prosecution to $7million, was intended solely for the cyber defence system.
