The Koforidua High Court has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Akwatia Member of Parliament (MP), Ernest Yaw Kumi, after ruling that he was in contempt of court.
The decision follows Kumi’s defiance of a court injunction that barred his swearing-in as an MP. Despite the legal restriction, he proceeded to take the oath of office, an act deemed a direct violation of the court’s directive.
The case stems from ongoing legal disputes surrounding Kumi’s election, with the court now taking steps to enforce compliance with its orders.
His actions have sparked legal consequences, emphasizing the judiciary’s commitment to upholding the rule of law.
