The Attorney General & Minister of Justice Republic of Ghana 8th October, 2024 Honourable Godfred Dame, PETITION FOR EXPEDITED FILING OF CASES RELATING TO THE PRO- FAMILY VALUES BILL We refer to the Supreme Court ruling of Wednesday 17th July, where a five (5) member panel deferred ruling on two cases brought before it and where you were expected to file your documentation relating to one of these cases within a stipulated timeframe which has since elapsed.
This ruling effectively prevents Parliament, even if temporarily, from executing its constitutionally mandated responsibility of transferring the bill to the Presidency.
The Supreme court furthermore suggested an early trial, signaling that it would potentially work to hear and rule on the matter in a timely manner.
We wish to bring to your attention that the Chief Justice has written to us indicating that your office's failure to file its documentation is a major contributory factor at the heart of the current delay in proceeding with the hearings.
