It stated categorically that no competent court of law has a link with the publication and dared those behind the story to identify themselves.<\/p>\n<p>According to the lawyers, their findings revealed that no charge sheet of a fraudulent case has been brought against Dr. Senzu before Takoradi Circuit Court A, as it was alleged in the media reports.<\/p>\n<p>The statement also mentioned a conflict between Dr. Senzu and some past executive members of the Chamber of Commerce of Sekondi-Takoradi.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict arose when Dr. Senzu stood up against their abuse of power during their period as executives of the Chamber, which he said was against the society constitution order.<\/p>\n<div style=\"font-size:12px;clear:both;\">\n<div style=\"padding:5px;background-color: #eee;\"><b>Comments:<\/b><br \/>This article has <b>0<\/b> comment,  leave your comment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#13;\n\t\t\t    \t<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-215562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215562\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2014\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
