Private legal practitioner Tweneboah Kodua asserts that individuals who deem the bail conditions of Bernard Antwi Bosiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi, too stringent can seek recourse through the legal system.
Although he refrains from dictating the course of action to the lawyers representing the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), he emphasises that contesting the conditions in court is the most suitable approach if they are deemed excessive.
During an interview on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Kodua explained that investigative bodies like the Economic and Organised Crimes Office (EOCO) have the authority to set bail conditions.
However, if any party believes these conditions are overly restrictive, they are aware of the necessary steps to take.
He stressed that bail conditions are lawful measures designed to ensure the accused does not pose a risk to the integrity of the proceedings.
According to Mr Kodua, bail conditions can be imposed by courts, police, or other agencies to guarantee the accused person’s presence during legal proceedings.
He stressed that bail conditions are legal restrictions imposed on people who are under investigation or appearing in court. These conditions are in place to keep them from fleeing or interfering with the investigation. However, if the bail conditions are harsh, his lawyers know exactly what to do. There is one approach in which the institution that imposed the bail condition is admonished to reduce it, or the court can be used to seek redress if any party is dissatisfied with the situation”
