The Supreme court will today, Wednesday, March 12, make a determination on a motion by convicted Akwatia MP that sought to set aside an injunction by a Koforidua High court that bars him from holding himself as a Member of Parliament for the constituency without first purging himself of contempt at the High Court.
The five-member panel could not rule on the motion last month due to doubts about their capacity, given that the MP was in contempt.
Justice Pwamang, the sole dissenting judge in February when the apex court stayed the sentencing of the MP by a Koforidua High court, insisted that the Supreme Court could not grant him an audience while he remained in contempt.
The Supreme Court by a 4-1 majority decision on February 26, stayed the High Court in Koforidua from sentencing the Member of Parliament for the Akwatia Constituency, Ernest Yaw Kumi in a contempt case pending the final determination of a motion seeking to quash the ruling.
