Supreme Court convicts Prof Kpessah-Whyte for contempt

University of Ghana lecturer, Professor Michael Kpessah-Whyte, has been convicted of contempt of court by the Supreme Court.

Following a recent Twitter post where he referred to the Supreme Court as a “Stupid Court,” Dr Kpessa-Whyte apologised.

Dr Kpessa-Whyte’s tweets came shortly after the Supreme Court ordered Parliament to remove the name of NDC MP, James Gyakye Quayson from its records due to procedural breaches during his nomination and election in 2020.

The Supreme Court summoned Dr Kpessa-Whyte to explain why he should not be held in contempt for describing the nation’s highest judicial body in such a manner.
