The Supreme Court was expected to deliver judgment on the injunction application filed by the MP for Akwatia constituency, Ernest Kumi, today, Wednesday, April 30.
However, the five-member panel informed highly expectant parties that it had not concluded its judgment and was therefore unable to deliver it. The court has now set June 11 to deliver its judgment.
In a brief ruling, presiding judge Justice Pwamang stated, “Unfortunately, the court has been occupied and has not concluded its judgment. So, bear with us on a later day to deliver our judgment.”
The Member of Parliament is seeking the Supreme Court’s intervention to quash the injunction ruling by the Koforidua High Court that sought to restrain him from being sworn into office as an MP for the Akwatia constituency.
The injunction was defied by the MP, leading to charges of contempt of court and the issuance of an arrest warrant against him. He is now at the Supreme Court asking for both the injunction and contempt rulings to be quashed.
