The Parties Without Representation in Parliament (PWREP) has urged Attorney-General Dr. Dominic Ayine to withdraw the ongoing prosecution of former National Signals Bureau (NSB) Director-General Kwabena Adu-Boahene, describing the case as “legally shaky, strategically reckless, and a waste of judicial resources.”
Speaking at a press conference held at the Ghana International Press Centre on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, themed “The ORAL Committee Report, Attorney-General — Unfinished Cases, Delays & Unanswered Questions,” the group said the trial lacks merit and risks compromising national security.
Led by the General Secretary of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Jerry Owusu Appauh, and the General Secretary of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP), Citizen Ato Dadzie, PWREP argued that the Attorney-General’s public commentary on the case has been improper.
“We find the continuous public commentary and media trial by the Attorney-General on the ongoing prosecution of the former Director-General of the NSB, Kwabena Adu-Boahene, to be both unlawful and improper. The Attorney-General’s duty is straightforward: to prosecute the Adu-Boahene case in court, not in the media,” the group stated.
They further accused Dr. Ayine of prejudicing the judicial process, saying: “By making premature pronouncements and passing judgment in the public space, the Attorney-General risks undermining the integrity of the judicial process. Justice must be served in the courtroom, not in the court of public opinion.”
PWREP demanded an immediate withdrawal of the case, insisting that “the evidence clearly shows that investigations were shoddy and incomplete. Pursuing a weak case not only wastes the court’s time but also exposes the AG’s office to public ridicule.”
The group highlighted a major contradiction in the case. While the Attorney-General claimed in court that the cybersecurity system described in the January 30, 2020 contract was never delivered to the government, the Israeli supplier, International Security Consulting Holding Ltd. (ISC Holding), confirmed otherwise.
In a letter dated May 28, 2025, to Adu-Boahene’s lawyers, ISC Holding stated: “We hereby declare and for the avoidance of any doubt that all Cyber defence systems, procured by the NSB, supplied under a confidential agreement signed on January 30, 2020, with an associated continuing service covenant, were fully delivered to Ghana’s National Security.”
PWREP said this revelation “strikes at the very heart of the Attorney-General’s case,” emphasizing that ISC Holding is a globally recognized supplier of defense and intelligence systems.
The group also warned of the national security risks tied to the trial, noting that sensitive intelligence tools could be exposed.
“The most troubling aspect is that this matter could have been resolved outside court. The supplier has confirmed delivery. The National Security outfit is reportedly using the very system to track IP addresses of dissenting voices. Already, through media sensationalism, the public has been given more information than is prudent about the system — its cost, contractual origins, and conflicting claims about delivery. In the intelligence world, such information is gold,” they said.
PWREP added: “Should a system designed to defend the Republic from cyber threats be laid bare in open court for partisan political gain? Should the credibility of our intelligence operations be jeopardized merely to satisfy a narrative of anti-corruption crusading?”
Concluding their address, the group declared: “Ghana cannot afford a justice system that sacrifices fairness for politics, nor can we afford an Attorney-General who gambles with national security for optics. The Adu-Boahene trial is not just about one man — it is about the credibility of our justice system, the sanctity of due process, and the safeguarding of sensitive state security infrastructure.”
They urged Dr. Ayine to reconsider his approach, warning that continuing with the prosecution would “erode trust, endanger security, and weaken our Republic.”
“Ghana deserves better. The people deserve justice. And the future demands nothing less,” they concluded.
