Mornah files writ at Supreme Court; wants CI74 declared null and void

The General Secretary of the People's National Convention (PNC), Mr Bernard Mornah has filed a writ at the Supreme Court seeking to nullify the CI74.

Mr Mornah argues that “Rule 71B, a portion of Rule 69C(5) and a portion of form 30 of the Supreme Court (Amendment) Rules, 2012 (C.I. 74) do not appear to be consistent with some provisions of the 1992 Constitution.”

He insists the provisions contravene Articles 133, 157, 93(2) and 11 of the 1992 Constitution.
