The Chief State Attorney said though the practice required the court to give them 30 days after the case had been assigned to a new court, they were pleading for six weeks.

The State made the request after the Court directed the prosecution to file all the documents.

The Court, after listening to the parties adjourned the case to December 22, 2021, for Case Management Conference.

Before vacation, the Court on August 5, 2021, presided over by Justice Comfort Tasiame, admitted Mr Dauda to a self-recognisance bail.

Mr Nouvi Tetteh Angelo was admitted to bail in the sum of $13 million with three sureties. His sureties are to provide two landed properties situated in Accra.

Mr Dauda, Member of Parliament for Asutifi North, is charged for intentionally misapplying public property.

The MP, together with Kwaku Agyeman-Mensah, Alhaji Ziblim Yakubu, Andrew Clocanas and Nouvi Tetteh Angelo, are also facing the charge of issuing a false certificate.

Mr Clocanas and Mr Tetteh have been additionally and jointly charged for dishonestly causing financial loss to the State.
