Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame has stated that a 2020 ruling by former Speaker of , Professor Aaron Mike Oquaye, declaring the seat of then Fomena MP, Andrews Amoako Asiamah, vacant was unconstitutional.
He made this assertion at the Supreme Court on Monday, November 11, 2024, while delivering submissions in a case seeking interpretation of Article 97(1)(g) and (h) of the 1992 Constitution.
Godfred Dame emphasised that Prof.
Oquaye's decision was unconstitutional and should not serve as a precedent for current parliamentary actions. "No matter the number of times an unconstitutional act is repeated, it does not make it right," he stated.
