We were not served hearing notice – Dafeamekpor’s legal team

Legal representative for Member of Parliament for South Dayi, Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo, has explained their absence in court on Wednesday, March 27, citing a lack of notice of appearance.

The MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, had filed a challenge at the Supreme Court against the approval of new ministerial and deputy ministerial nominees.

However, the court dismissed the application, stating it lacked direct relevance to the current nominees in Parliament, as it mainly concerned reassigned ministers.

Additionally, the lawyers did not accept documents related to the notice of hearing and the Attorney General's opposition to a temporary court order.

In an interview with Citi News, lawyer Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo said their focus was on the substantive case hearing.

“We didn’t have the benefits of the hearing notice because I never stepped in the office yesterday. The court has gone ahead to decide on our injunction application. The substantive case is still pending and we are waiting for the court to call us and we will go and attend to it.

“Also, we have a mandamus application coming up in the High Court on the 8th in respect of the LGBTQ matter so we have moved on and we are focused on that one while we wait for the substantive case to be called.

“We have had our day in court. The court has ruled. That is all that you can do as a citizen of the country.”
