Former Senior Presidential aide, Dr. Tony Aidoo, had expressed strong concerns regarding the Supreme Court’s handling of the recent case involving the declaration of four parliamentary seats as vacant.
Speaking on Joy News, he described the court’s actions as an error, criticizing it as a dangerous ruling in Ghana’s democratic era.
On October 18, the Supreme Court issued a halt on Speaker Alban Bagbin’s ruling to declare four parliamentary seats vacant, which was a ruling made as a result of ex-parte application filed by some NPP MPs to get the independence to continue their parliamentary duties until a final ruling is given.
“How can the Supreme Court turn itself into a political arena? It is the last straw of defence for the constitution and you all must realize that it is gradually turning itself into a war breeder. The law must be predictable, or there is no law.” — Tony Aidoo.
