Oppong Nkrumah challenges Deputy AG’s claim that his court application was based on ‘falsehoods’
The Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has accused Deputy Attorney General Srem Sai of misinforming the public over a recent court ruling concerning his application.
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, has criticized Deputy Attorney General and Justice Srem-Sai for spreading misinformation about a recent court ruling. In response to a social media statement from the Deputy Attorney General, Nkrumah questioned how the judge could have labeled the application based on "deliberate falsehoods" when several journalists were present in court and the decision was publicly documented.
The Supreme Court recently permitted specific criminal trials to proceed during the legal break, dismissing Nkrumah's attempt to halt the proceedings. Justice Gabriel Pwamang ruled that the applicant failed to provide a strong case for an interlocutory injunction. Nkrumah refuted the claim that his application was misleading because it led to the courts being inactive for a week, stating that this interruption did not negate his constitutional right to seek legal interpretation.
The former Attorney General emphasized that litigants have the right to challenge perceived breaches of their constitutional rights or principles in court. He also pointed out that the core issue in his application has yet to be heard and decided by the court. Nkrumah criticized the Deputy Attorney General for demanding court respect while simultaneously disparaging litigants for utilizing the courts' powers.
