The case involving the former First lady of Ghana, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings and others was called today at the Fast Track High Court, but the prosecution team, led by Gertrude Aikins, Acting Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), was not in court. The Judge had no option than to adjourn the case, so he adjourned it to 15th November, 2007.
The Defence team led by Mr. Tony Lithur was however present in court and prayed the court to struck out the case if prosecution fails to come to court next time.
Later after the case has been adjourned however, Aikins came to the court and told journalists present that the case was called earlier than the scheduled time for the case today, hence prosecution?s absence.
Meanwhile the case involving former GNPC boss, Tsatsu Tsikata was adjourned to Friday, 2nd November, 2007. The adjournment became necessary because an aspect of Tsikata?s case pending at Supreme Court needs to be ruled on before the High Court can pass judgment on the substantive alleged financial loss case against the accused.
