The Chief Justice Kwesi Anin Yeboah is said to have called for the docket on the case involving the Senior Minister, Yaw Osafo Marfo and Auditor General, Daniel Domelovo.
This was disclosed by the judge hearing the case Doreen Boakye Agyei. She explained its as a result of the petition that has been sent to the CJ’s office on the matter.
The Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Maafo is in court asking that Mr Domelovo be punished for failing to respond to his case challenging a $1m surcharge on him.
The Auditor General’s office had insisted that Yaw Osafo Maafo wrongfully caused $1m to be paid a UK-based consultancy firm, Kroll and Associates, to undertake investigations on behalf of the government.
He has pointed out, there was no valid contract between the UK Company and the Ghana government when Kroll & Associates began work in 2017.
Justice Boakye Agyei who has been hearing the matter over the past month urged the lawyers to check on the progress of the case from the registrar of the court.
It’s not clear at this stage who filed the petition and what it's seeking to achieve. The case at this stage remains adjourned indefinitely.
