Today, Friday April 4 is the 22nd day after Francis Agyare, the man who was jailed 14 years without trial, was awarded compensation by the state for wrongful imprisonment.<\/p>\n

And in accordance with the state proceedings Act, Act 555, a certificate of judgement will be presented to him following the 21 days mandate which he will serve on the Attorney General and the Accountant General for his claims.<\/p>\n

Francis Agyare was arrested with 57 other suspected criminals at James town beach in 1994.<\/p>\n

A Human Right Court in Accra awarded a GHC 240,000 judgment against the state for keeping him in jail for that period without trial.<\/p>\n

The human right Lawyer for Francis Adjare, Francis Xavier Sosu speaking to Citi News said the certificate of judgement will enable the \u201cfinal payment to be made after a judgement has been made against the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

He maintained that a certificate of judgement can only be obtained after 21 days of judgement.<\/p>\n
