If you recall, I\u2019ve gone to court challenging his eligibility to continue to stay in the office whilst he dabbles in partisan politics as a civil servant who occupies the statutory position of controller and, accountant general.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we\u2019ve tried to serve him. We\u2019ve not been able to serve him. So we went back to court to procure what we call an order for substituted service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so the writ has since been served on him. Now his removal would, as it were, undercut the suit in a way, but we\u2019ll pursue it because we will want the courts to pronounce on the merits of the matter whether or not a person occupying a statutory office such as that can dabble in partisan politics and remain in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you recall the issue with the removal of Domelevo. His removal didn\u2019t affect the suit in court, even though it did come out. The court went ahead to pronounce on the constitutionality or otherwise of his removal. So, for enriching the jurisprudence in respect of these matters we will pursue the matter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament (MP) for South Dayi, has vowed to continue his legal action against Kwasi Kwaning Bosompem, the former Controller and Accountant-General.
