I was never heard; Lawyer Akwantey says about petition against Justice Adjei

The lawyer who petitioned the President for the dismissal of Mr Justice Dominic Dennis Adjei as an Appeal Court judge has expressed surprise at the reason for setting the petition aside.

According to the petitioner, Mr I.B. Akwantey, he was at a loss as to how Mr Justice Adjei was exonerated when, according to him, he (the petitioner) was not given the opportunity to be heard.

“We lost the opportunity to confront Mr Justice Adjei for him to admit or deny the evidence we had in support of the petition.

“I believe that the President relied on your recommendation to dismiss the petition and the President is right in law and in fact,” said a letter dated March 17, 2016 which Mr Akwantey addressed to the Chief Justice, a copy of which was made available to the Daily Graphic.
