You need lawyers as prosecutors in order to win more cases – Martin Kpebu advises Attorney General
Private lawyer Martin Kpebu has stressed the need for the Attorney General to seek the help of lawyers to assist in prosecutions.
He expressed worry that the lack of such services is not enabling the Attorney General’s department to secure convictions.
Mr Kpebu made these revelations while expressing his thoughts on TV3 on the recent re-arrest of the notorious illegal miner, Aisha Huang.
“Most of the prosecutors are not lawyers, we need to make the law better,” he said.
He added, “Subsequently, we should know how to refine the law in terms of fine when the galamsey operators are picked up”.
Also, Professor Kwesi Aning, Director of Faculty of Academic Affairs at the Kofi Annan International Peace Keeping Training Centre is demanding that her crimes be elevated for her to bear more consequences.
“This woman’s danger to us needs to be elevated so that we can use the law as much as possible,” he said on the Key Points on TV3 Saturday, September 10.
Her action “should be elevated to treasonable act. Let us not rush to quickly try Aisha Huang”.
He called for those who conspired with her to be brought to book because he believes she is not working alone but with people who aided her to outwit the system.
“It is not only Aisha, let us identify Ghanaians who have facilitated her criminal enterprise.”
Dr Aning stressed the need for the investigators to critically study her criminal network to prescribe the perfect punitive action for her.
