Legal vacation trials involving politicians raise fair play concerns – Baffour Awuah

According to the MP, the concern becomes more serious when the cases being heard during the legal vacation involve individuals associated with a particular political party.“In the circumstance of this case, when generally you are trying to do something which is not done during legal vacations, and then you are also proceeding to do it in respect of persons who are connected to a particular political party, then clearly you have a problem,” he said.

New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah, has questioned the decision to proceed with a criminal trial during the legal vacation, arguing that the issue is not the composition of the courts but the unusual decision to hear a case when such proceedings are generally not undertaken.
