Chief Justice finds no prima facie case in petition against Justice Pwamang
The Chief Justice has concluded that no prima facie case has been established in a petition brought against Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang.
The Chief Justice has dismissed a petition against Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, determining that it did not provide sufficient evidence to warrant further investigation. This decision came after a preliminary examination of the petition filed by Mr. Edward Adeti. According to the Presidency Communications, the Chief Justice concluded that the constitutional requirements needed to initiate further proceedings were not satisfied.
The statement from the Presidency Communications stated that the preliminary inquiry did not find a prima facie case to support an investigation, in line with Article 146(3) of the 1992 Constitution. Consequently, the constitutional threshold for taking further action was not met, and the matter was deemed closed, precluding any additional proceedings on the petition.
The Office of the President emphasized that the handling of the matter adhered to the constitutional procedures and principles of due process, and confirmed this information to the public. The statement was signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister for Government Communications and Spokesperson to the President.
