This was because both parties in the case rejected the Chinese interpreter.
Both defence and prosecution lawyers said that the interpreter,Yun Chin York, who is a Chinese national and a law student, could not give an accurate interpretation due to his understanding of the law.
The lawyers, therefore, for the purposes of fair trial prayed the court for a Ghanaian Chinese interpreter.

The Judge, Justice Edward Ekow Baiden, adjourned the case to July 21, 2017.
He also directed the chief interpreter of the judicial service to ensure he gets another person on the adjourned date.
Asia Huang was arrested with four others in Kumasi by the Ghana Immigration Service for allegedly engaging in galamsey.
The four, Gao Jin Cheng, 45; Lu Qi Jun, 39; Haibin Gao, 26; Zhang Pen, 23, named Asia Huang as the one who contracted them to engage in the illegal activity.
