In an interesting move, Paul Adom-Otchere of Metro TV, one of the leading media houses in Ghana has petitioned the acting Chief Justice to grant permission to media houses more specifically, Good Evening Ghana of Metro TV, to provide live coverage of the proceedings of the Supreme Court in the case of Vincent Ekow Assafuah v The Attorney General, on the 6th of May, 2025.
He urged the Acting Chief Justice to do this citing former conventions and practices more particularly, the administrative fiat of the then Chief Justice, Georgina Wood which granted permission to the media to cover the proceedings of the 2012 election petition.
In his request he noted thus; "In line to foster transparency and interest in judicial processes by the common man, it is the humble prayer of my production team and myself to be granted the permission to cover the proceedings of the Supreme Court on the 6th of May, 2025."
