Three lawmakers - Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh, Nana Asafo Adjei-Ayeh, and Habib Iddrisu - have filed a lawsuit against the Attorney General, Minister for Lands and Natural Resources and Abosso Goldfields Ghana Limited.
They are challenging what they describe as an unlawful mining lease agreement.
Filed on Wednesday, July 3, the suit accuses the state of breaching Article 268(1) of the 1992 Constitution by granting a 12-month Temporary Lease Agreement to Abosso Goldfields without prior parliamentary approval.
The MPs insist that such a lease, covering mining rights, must be submitted to Parliament for ratification before taking effect.
