The Accra High Court ruled that North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa was not subject to any contempt procedure in the case of Kusi Boateng, despite rumours to the contrary.
After the Metro TV show “Good Morning Ghana” on February 3, 2023, a bailiff allegedly tried to deliver court documents on behalf of Mr Kusi Boateng, an order prohibiting Okudzeto Ablakwa from disclosing any information that belongs to Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.
Reverend Kusi Boateng claimed in his move for contempt that the reasons given by Ablakwa for rejecting the paper were not reasonable. It went on to say that the MP’s publication of copies of the court order via social media was an act of contempt against the legal system.
After the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral, Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, filed charges of contempt against the MP the court noted that there was no evidence in the records before it to indicate that the MP had been served during the hearing on Tuesday, February 21, 2023.
The respondent has not received notice of any contempt proceedings, and the court has not issued any orders authorizing such a process, according to the records on file.
Background
On January 16, 2023, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa made some allegations against Rev. Kusi Boateng, secretary of the National Cathedral of Ghana’s Board of Trustees. He previously revealed that the National Cathedral had paid a company called JNS Talent Centre Ltd a hefty GH2.6 million.
Inquiries into the alleged payment led investigators to learn that one Kwabena Adu Gyamfi served as a director of JNS Talent Centers. Ablakwa conducted more research in an effort to identify the third director, Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, after confirming the identities of two of the center’s three directors.
His research, which was based on a number of legal documents, showed that Kwabena Adu Gyamfi was the same person as Reverend Kusi Boateng, who had been using the name Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.
