Chief Justice finds no prima facie case against Justice Pwamang

The Chief Justice has determined that there is not enough evidence to warrant further investigation into a petition filed against Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang. The petition, submitted by Mr. Edward Adeti, underwent a preliminary inquiry conducted by the Chief Justice. According to a statement released on Tuesday, November 10, the inquiry found that the constitutional requirements for advancing the case under Article 146(3) of the 1992 Constitution were not satisfied.

Consequently, the statement from the Office of the President, dated November 10, signed by Presidential Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu, announced that the constitutional threshold for initiating further proceedings had not been met. The statement concluded that "no further action is required in respect of the petition," effectively signifying that the matter was considered closed.

The Office of the President reaffirmed that the handling of the petition adhered to the established constitutional procedures and principles of due process.
