<p>The disclosure follows an order issued by the Court of Appeal on May 28, 2026, after it partly upheld an appeal by the accused persons seeking additional access to documents they argued were necessary for their defence. While the appellate court dismissed their application for a stay of proceedings, it directed the prosecution to disclose a number of documents considered relevant to ensuring a fair trial. </p><p> In a response filed before the High Court on July 1, 2026, the Attorney-General's office stated that it had not come into possession of the missing 88 pages of Advantage Solutions Limited's Universal Merchant Bank (UMB) account statement, which formed part of the evidence ordered by the Court of Appeal. The prosecution also indicated that it could not provide information relating to the source of the GH¢49.1 million at the centre of the case, files compiled by the then National Security Coordinator, correspondence concerning the opening of special purpose accounts, and other National Security operational records requested by the defence. </p><p> According to the Attorney-General, the defence already possesses the complete UMB bank statement because it was tendered during earlier proceedings and admitted as prosecution exhibits. However, the office maintained that the remaining documents are not in its possession and therefore cannot be disclosed. </p><p> Kwabena Adu-Boahene, his wife, and their company are facing multiple charges, including stealing, money laundering, causing financial loss to the state and using public office for personal gain. Prosecutors allege that GH¢49.1 million intended for a state cyber defence system was diverted through private entities controlled by the accused. They have all pleaded not guilty, and the trial continues before the High Court.</p><p>Photo credit: Modern Ghana, Dr. Justice Srem-Sai.</p>
