Sam George to file for contempt against the EC for disregarding court orders
Vibrant Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Samuel Dzata Nartey George aka Sam George has revealed he's considering filing for contempt of court against the Electoral Commission (ec) for flouting the court's order and going ahead with a workshop at Prampram.
The MP filed for a court injunction barring the Electoral Commission (EC) from holding a workshop for directors and deputy directors of the commission at Escape Hotel in his constituency – Prampram.
The court granted Sam George's request and thereby halting all activities in relation to the supposed meeting.
Yesterday, news went viral that the Electoral Commission had gone ahead with the workshop.
Hon. Sam George who is quite peeved at how things unfolded described the actions of the Electoral Commission as “illegal”.
“What is going in there is an illegality that has been established by the competent court of jurisdiction of the country. The Electoral Commission led by jean mensa and Bossman Asare are flouting the orders of the court,” he told Joy News' correspondent.
He said that he is considering filing for contempt of court against the Electoral Commission for its actions.
He added, “that is an option that is available to us. I am having that conversation already with my lawyers.”
