Nii Kpappo Addo, Legal representative for Member of Parliament Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor of South Dayi, denied allegations that he instructed his office staff to reject documents from the Supreme Court regarding President Akufo-Addo’s new ministerial nominees.

During Wednesday's court proceedings, it emerged that certain court documents, including the notice of hearing and the Attorney General’s opposition to a temporary court order, were not received by the attorney representing the South Dayi MP.

Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, presiding over the bench, mentioned that Nii Kpappo Addo, the attorney for the plaintiff, purportedly instructed a staff member to refuse any documents from the Supreme Court.

However, in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Eyewitness News on Citi FM, Mr. Addo refuted the bailiff’s claim, stating he did not issue such directives.

He mentioned the availability of audio and video evidence to support his assertion.

“We didn’t flee from our own case. We are supposed to be served with a hearing notice on the date that has been called by the court. So, I received a call from the bailiff of the court that he had a process for me. Unfortunately, on Tuesday, I wasn’t in Accra. He called me at exactly 10:50 am. So, I informed him that I wasn’t around, but I was going to give him the number of the plaintiff so that he could serve the plaintiff with the hearing notice or whatever document that he had. So, I sent him the number at 10:57. He acknowledged receipt.”
