Oppong Nkrumah reacts after Supreme Court clears vacation trials to proceed

Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has reacted to a Supreme Court ruling dismissing an application seeking to halt sittings during legal vacation.

In his response posted on X shortly after the ruling on August 21, 2026, Oppong Nkrumah said the New Patriotic Party believes justice must not be selective and will continue to pursue the matter using other means at his disposal.

“Earlier this morning, the Supreme Court dismissed my injunction application in which I requested the apex court to order a halt to full trials at the high courts while the Supreme Court is about to make a determination on my substantive writ challenging the constitutionality of conducting these full trials during the legal vacation," he wrote.

"In his ruling, Justice Scott Pwamang said that while some cases are being treated differently and expeditiously, this would not amount to an infringement on the rights to equality before the law and the right to a fair trial," he added.

"We have asked for a certified copy of the ruling to study and take advice. A date for the hearing of the substantive matter is yet to be fixed. We in the NPP believe that justice must not be selective and will continue to seek to have the selective application of laws addressed using the best means at our disposal,” he added.

The MP had applied for an injunction to halt full trials at the High Courts during the legal vacation while the Supreme Court considers his substantive writ.

The writ challenges the constitutionality of conducting trials under administrative warrants issued by the Chief Justice for the period running from August 1 to September 30, 2026.
