In an important legal development, the Supreme Court has once again postponed the decision on an injunction application aimed at preventing President John Dramani Mahama from initiating the removal process of the Chief Justice. The new date for this case is set for May 6.
This marks the second delay for the case, as a similar decision to adjourn was made last Wednesday, primarily due to the absence of the Attorney General.
Professor Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu, chair of the panel of judges, announced today’s postponement, attributing the delay to unavoidable circumstances.
The injunction was filed by Vincent Ekow Assafuah, Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, who is urging the Supreme Court to stop President Mahama from moving forward with the Chief Justice’s removal. This follows an announcement from the Presidency about three petitions received against the Chief Justice.
Attorney General Dominic Ayine has argued that the injunction cannot impede the President’s constitutional responsibilities, countering an earlier statement by former Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, who suggested pausing all actions until the case is heard.
