In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court dismissed a case filed by private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai asking the court to review its March 9 judgement.
On March 9, 2022, in a unanimous decision, a seven-member panel of the Apex Court held that a Deputy Speaker of Parliament presiding over proceedings in the House has the right to vote on matters for determination, and also be counted as part of the quorum for decision-making.
Lawyer Abdulai after this ruling subsequently filed a review application insisting the ruling contained “errors of laws which have occasioned a grave miscarriage of justice on the people of Ghana”.
However, in a unanimous ruling, the nine-panel Court presided over by Justice Jones Dotse ruled that the Deputy Speaker of Parliament's participation in voting was constitutional.
“The application is accordingly dismissed,” Justice Dotse said.
Ace Journalist, Kwesi Pratt Jnr was left bemused after it was announced during Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo'.
In a voice tinged with incredulity, he questioned "unanimous again????"

Is unanimous decision a crime? Do you now want to control or frustrate the judges as to the decision they should make?. Unanimous ruling should signal every competent lawyer that his case lacks merit so don't waste your clients money and time. Akwasi Pratt, Sammy Gyamfi, John Mahama and other NDC officials just want to paint the supreme court judges black to mar their credibility and also to discredit the president because they are not in power. I think is about time the supreme court jailed some people with diabolic agenda to bring the noble institution down
PRPAGANDIST AND BITTER SOUL
Well said Babe. I don't understand this Mr Know all man. All 9 justices said the application for review did not meet the threshold and so they dismiss it. What is this man expecting? He is playing to the gallery and doing propaganda
Yes Mr. I know it all! What did you expect? Do you understand that said ruling said the Review did not meet the threshold! Stop doing propaganda for your paymasters. What is wrong if it is unanimous? If did not meet the threshold it did not meet the threshold period!
