The 2024 (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Akwatia, Henry Boakye-Yiadom, has written to the Director General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to investigate the Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Ernest Kumi, for allegedly forging a gazette document.

In a letter dated March 7, 2025, the NDC candidate stated that Kumi, in his deposed affidavit at the Supreme Court to challenge an injunction application granted against him by the Koforidua High Court, attached a document captioned "Ghana Gazette, 6th January 2025." Boakye-Yiadom said his checks with the Ghana Publishing Company, the official publisher of the Ghana Gazette, showed that there was no publication on January 6, 2025, that included the Akwatia Constituency. "Following the declaration of the election results, our client filed an election petition and an injunction application at the Koforidua High Court, and the court granted the injunction application. "Further to the grant of the injunction, Ernest Kumi, through his lawyers, filed a certiorari application at the Supreme Court to quash the grant of the injunction.

The said Ernest Kumi deposed to an affidavit for the application and attached as an exhibit a document captioned 'Ghana Gazette, 6th January 2025,'" the letter from the lawyers of the NDC candidate, Kpatsa and Associates, stated.

It continued that, "However, when our client procured a copy of the Ghana Gazette document, it was found to be dated 24th December 2024.
