\n

The Supreme Court has dismissed an application filed by South Dayi MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, challenging the approval of new ministerial and deputy ministerial nominees.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dafeamekpor\u2019s case centred on the legality of the recent ministerial nominations. He sought the Supreme Court\u2019s intervention to declare unconstitutional the President\u2019s authority to appoint ministers and deputy ministers without parliamentary approval.<\/p>\n

However, the Supreme Court rejected Mr Dafeamekpor\u2019s application, affirming the President\u2019s constitutional prerogative to make such appointments.<\/p>\n

At the same time, it was revealed in court that the lawyers for the South Dayi MP didn\u2019t accept some court documents. These included the notice of hearing and the Attorney General\u2019s opposition to a temporary court order.<\/p>\n

This came to light when the case was called on Wednesday, and the plaintiff and his lawyer were not in court.<\/p>\n

The Chief Justice, who was leading the bench, noticed that the plaintiff\u2019s lawyer, Nii Kpappo Addo, had told a staff member not to accept any documents from the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

The bailiff swore that he had to leave the notice of hearing and the Attorney General\u2019s opposition to the temporary court order when the staff of the South Dayi MP\u2019s lawyer told him about the instruction.<\/p>\n

The Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame, argued that this was disrespectful to the court. He asked the court to hear the temporary court order application anyway.<\/p>\n

After confirming that the documents were properly filed, the Supreme Court allowed the temporary court order application to proceed.<\/p>\n\n
