The Human Rights court has dismissed the interlocutory injunction filed by former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta to restrain the Special Prosecutor from declaring him wanted.
Lawyers of the former Finance Minister on March 27, filed the motion asking the High Court to order the Office of the Special Prosecutor to remove his name from the list of wanted persons.
Ken Ofori-Atta averred that the OSP breached principles of administrative justice by continuing to display his photograph and personal details on its official social media platforms.
The motion also sought a court order prohibiting any future publications of such designations without judicial approval, adding that continuous display of his name was injurious to the former minister.
But in his ruling on Wednesday, June 18, Justice Amoako stated that Ken Ofori Atta’s injunction motion failed to meet the requirements.
“Applicant failed to meet second requirement for grant of injunction…
“Injury complained of by applicant is reparable and can be compensated for by the award of damages.”
