Wontumi sentence: John Boadu urges NPP members to remain united
John Boadu, former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), expressed support for Bernard Antwi-Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi) on July 22 following his conviction and 20-year prison sentence over illegal mining activities. Mr. Boadu described Chairman Wontumi as a "political prisoner" and urged NPP members to remain united and law-abiding as the party pursues legal avenues to challenge the High Court's decision.
Chairman Wontumi was sentenced by the Accra High Court after being found guilty of offences related to illegal mining activities on the Samreboi concession in the Western Region. Justice Audrey Kocuvie-Tay delivered the sentence on Monday, July 20. The court sentenced him to 20 years in prison and imposed a fine of 10,000 penalty units, equivalent to GH¢120,000. He faces an additional three-year jail term if the fine is not paid. Mr. Boadu called on members of the NPP to remain calm and committed to democratic and legal processes.
