Renowned lawyer Kwame Boafo Akuffo has voiced significant concerns regarding the Supreme Court's recent handling of the Application for Stay of Execution in the ongoing vacant seats saga.He argues that the court has a duty to ensure consistent application of legal principles, emphasizing that inconsistency can undermine the coherence of the law and lead to a patchwork of disparate rules.Akuffo points out that the nature of the application itself poses problems.He argues that a party cannot seek a Stay of Execution regarding a matter that is not a formal judgment or court order, stating," A party cannot seek an Application for Stay of Execution in respect of a matter which is not a Judgment or a Court order .
The speaker's order is not of such .
In any case, it is absurd to seek a Stay of Execution in a case in which the Court has not made any orders.
There was no jurisdiction in the Court.He further notes the absurdity of seeking a stay in a case where the court has issued no prior orders, calling into question the court's jurisdiction in the matter.
