The nation should start bracing itself for another law battle against the Government of Ghana but this time from a Presidential Staffer.

Founding member of Occupy Ghana, a pressure group, Ace Kojo Ankomah has disclosed to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's Morning Show that Presidential Staffer, Clement Apaak has dragged the government to court over claims that certain actions by the government were inappropriate.


Ace Ankomah, who is also a private legal practitioner hinted on Kokrokoo, that Mr. Clement Apaak had filed a case against the Government of Ghana at the Supreme Court.

He revealed that Mr. Apaak had filed the law suit over claims against a contract tendered in by the government, which to him (Apaak), had not be properly done.

Lawyer Ace Ankomah also revealed that the Presidential Staffer has a pending case in the Supreme Court involving the Attorney General.

Occupy Ghana Founding member disclosed these to host Kwami Sefa Kayi following some comments made by Mr. Apaak regarding a forum organized by IMANI Ghana and Occupy Ghana.

Mr. Apaak was said to have described the forum as merely an academic exercise, had also lambasted the organizers, claiming they had accused the government of corruption.

“He (Clement Apaak) dragged the Electoral Commission to court in one instance. Please was he disgracing the government? Even I and Apaak have gone to the Supreme Court on another matter and he’s challenging some issues happening in Ghana. He, Apaak, has dragged the Attorney General to court. Please ask him whether he was disgracing the government. Seriously, ask him that as we speak; does he not have a case at the Supreme Court against the government of Ghana," he quizzed.

Speaking further on Kokrokoo, Lawyer Ace Ankomah wondered why the Presidential Staffer would make such claims because to him, they made no mention of the incumbent government's name. "Government is not synonymous with corruption. So unless, in his view, every time the word ‘corruption’ is mentioned; it is government...Does he deny that government must enforce the law? Does he deny that he’s in the current government and he has the duty to enforce the law?” he questioned. "It is the old man or woman who gets uncomfortable when dry bones are mentioned," he concluded.
