Supreme Court adjourns injunction case on CJ’s removal to May 6

The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing again. This is regarding an application to stop the President and Council of State. They are deciding if there is a prima facie case in petitions to remove the Chief Justice.

One of the five Justices, His Lordship Samuel Asiedu, was absent. Presiding Judge, Her Ladyship Henrietta Mensah Bonsu, explained their reasons for adjourning. She stated they have faced problems and must postpone the case. The new date for the hearing is May 6.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine has rejected calls for action from President John Dramani Mahama. He responded to a statement by Godfred Yeboah Dame, the plaintiff's lawyer. Dame claimed that an injunction filed should halt all proceedings related to the petition.

In an interview on April 16, Dr. Ayine argued that the President cannot be stopped from fulfilling his constitutional duties.
