An Accra High Court on Friday adjourned to 23rd May 2012 a case in which the embattled New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong is being tried for treason.
This is to allow the Attorney General to receive the docket on Mr. Agyapong to equip the AG’s office to effectively prosecute the case.
The state prosecution asked the court to grant them more time because they had not received Mr. Agyapong’s docket for “study and advise” from the Police.
Hon. Kennedy Agyapong who is being represented in court by his team of lawyers including Nii Ayikoi Otu, Atta Akyea, Mike Oquaye Jnr and Kuuku Welsing Jones is being tried for making treasonable comments on an Accra-based radio station, Oman FM which have been described by many as inflammatory.
He has been charged for treason felony, attempt to commit genocide and engaging in acts of terrorism.
His legal team has served notice that counsel they would file for the case to be thrown out if the state led by the prosecutors continue to have the case discontinued and the discharge of their client.
