Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyiri Constituency of the Eastern Region, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has been convicted of contempt by the High Court in Accra.

The Court presided over by Justice Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku convicted him after he pleaded guilty previously to the offence.

The Court said Mr Annoh-Dompreh is not an ordinary member of society and should know better but the Court will spare him a custodial sentence.

Justice Adjin-Doku while sentencing him on Tuesday, July 23 imposed a fine of 600 penalty units on him which is equivalent to GH¢7,200.

The MP was cited for contempt after it was brought to the attention of the High Court (Land Court 1) that he disrupted Court Bailiff and Police Officers' work when they were to carry out an execution work over disputed lands.
