In the proceedings in the SALL case before the High Court, Ho, Counsel for 2nd Respondent Hon. Peter Amewu notified the court that his client had decided not to testify in his defence.
This is in spite of having filed an amended witness statement on the 1st of July 2024. Counsel, Mr. Kofitse indicated that the issues in the case were mostly legal matters and he would be addressing the court on them.
The court had stood the case down when it was called earlier because counsel for Hon. Amewu was in another court.
His Lordship Justice Yaw Owoahene Acheampong indicated after consultation with the lawyers that the addresses by counsel for the petitioners as well as the 1st Respondent (EC) should be filed within 7 days.
Counsel for Hon. Amewu who had asked for 14 days was granted 10 days to file.
His Lordship indicated that non-compliance with these timelines will not be tolerated. He set July 29, 2024 for his judgment.
