Atebubu Amantin’s Member of Parliament, Sanja Nanja, questions the impartiality of the law concerning certain New Patriotic Party (NPP) members.
This arises from the Controller and Accountant General, Kwasi Kwaning-Bosompem, entering NPP’s parliamentary primaries.
Nanja emphasizes that as a public servant, Kwaning-Bosompem should uphold political neutrality, questioning the need for him to participate in politics.
Despite public pressure for Kwaning-Bosompem to resign, he asserts no legal breach.
South Dayi’s MP, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, files a lawsuit against Kwaning-Bosompem, seeking to bar him from the NPP primaries, claiming it’s unconstitutional for a civil servant to contest while holding office.
“A declaration that the Defendant is a civil servant and therefore cannot contest in the New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary primaries while holding office as the Controller and Accountant General.”
“A declaration that the Defendant as a civil servant can only contest in a political party’s parliamentary primaries if that civil servant has resigned from his position as a civil servant.”
Dafeamekpor also seeks an injunction against Kwaning-Bosompem’s dual role.
