Deputy AG Godfred Dame

The Deputy Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame has said he is satisfied with the decision of the Supreme Court to quash the injunction placed on Hohoe MP-elect John Peter Amewu by a Ho High Court.

The Highest Court of the land, has today by a unanimous decision dismissed the injunction placed on the swearing in of Energy Minister Amewu by a Ho High Court.

The action of the apex court now paves the way for Mr Amewu to be sworn in on Thursday January 7 as the lawmaker for the people of the area.
The Supreme Court said the Ho High Court did not have the jurisdiction over the matter, hence the decision to quash the injunction.

Speaking to journalists after the Supreme Court’s ruling, Mr Godfred Dame said the case that went before the Ho High Court “was totally out of order because you cannot seek election petition reliefs  in a human rights action  and today the Supreme Court has held to the same effect that it was unjustified  for them to have commenced  an election petition  and characterized him as a human rights  action.
