I am worried about the Supreme – John Jinapor

The Member of Parliament for Yapei Kusawgu Constituency, John Abdulai Jinapor, has expressed worry about recent posturing of the Supreme Court.

He said the perception among Ghanaians is that the apex court is becoming political in its posturings and rulings.

“I am worried about the Supreme Court. Especially the Chief Justice. The notion that she is being political is gaining grounds,” he said on Key Points, on Saturday October 26.

Mr Jinapor was contributing to discussions on the current stalemate in Parliament which has been occasioned by a Supreme Court ruling that has suspended a decision by Speaker Alban Bagbin.

The Speaker had on Thursday, October 17, declared four seats in Parliament vacant.

The constituencies and the lawmakers are:

2. Kwadwo Asante, the current NPP MP for the Suhum constituency in the Eastern Region, who has also filed to run as an independent candidate.

3. Andrew Asiamah Amoako, currently an independent MP for the Fomena constituency in the Ashanti Region, who has filed to run in the upcoming election as a candidate for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

4. Peter Kwakye Ackah (Amenfi Central), NDC.

Subsequently, the Supreme Court on Friday, October 18 directed Parliament to allow the four MPs to continue to serve as lawmakers until the case is determined.

However, Mr Jinapor opined that, “The Supreme Court cannot direct Parliament what to do. We are masters of our own rules.”
