The Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak, has emphasized the need for the Attorney General and Minister for Justice to initiate legal proceedings against Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng.
This statement follows a recent Facebook post by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, where he mentioned that the Human Rights Court had dismissed Rev. Kusi Boateng/Kwabena Adu Gyamfi’s application seeking restraint against him.
According to Ablakwa, the court’s ruling affirmed that his parliamentary oversight had exposed two distinct identities with behaviors bordering on criminality, resulting in the application’s dismissal due to lack of capacity and locus standi.
The judge also awarded a cost of GHS10,000.00 against Rev. Kusi Boateng/Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, marking the second time such costs have been awarded against them.
In response to these developments, Dr. Apaak emphasized that Rev. Kusi Boateng is not exempt from the laws of the land and urged the Attorney General to take necessary action in prosecuting him.
“How did such a character become Sec and Board of Trustee of a National Cathedral? How many more criminals are walking freely in the Presidency? The Presidency has been so, so, so DEPRAVED! The AG must prosecute him immediately, he is not above the law!” Dr. Apaak stated.
Below is the full statement by Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa
The Human Rights Court has today dismissed Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng/Kwabena Adu Gyamfi’s application which sought to restrain me.
The court’s judgment was emphatic that my parliamentary oversight had unraveled two distinct identities in conduct which borders on criminality and therefore the application was dismissed for lack of capacity and locus standi.
The judge awarded cost of GHS10,000.00 against Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng/Kwabena Adu Gyamfi. This is the second time cost has been awarded against Kusi Boateng/Adu Gyamfi.
I dedicate this latest legal victory to the masses who have kept me resolute with their prayers and support for transparent and accountable governance.
I am indebted to my outstanding legal team.
2 down; 1 more to go in his defamation suit.
For God and Country.
Ghana First
Summary of Judgment
It has been proven that Kwabena Adu Gyamfi and Victor Kusi Boateng are two separate identities concurrently used by the Applicant and 1st Respondent is justified in his claims that, Victor Kusi Boateng is not an alias but another separate identity altogether.
The way the two identities were used does not suggest a simple case of two different names, but rather two independent and totally separate identities to conceal applicant’s dealings in a manner that was not obvious, until the investigations and publications of 1st Respondent.
Applicant’s assertion that the use of two names in the manner he has done is not a crime under our laws is misconceived, as the two identities were used in a pattern of duplicity depicting a lack of transparency and this conduct borders on criminality.
The Application was sought to be enforced under Article 33(1) of the 1992 Constitution, which requires an Applicant’s personal interest in the matter to confer locus standi.
From the record, it is not clear which of the two separate identities seeks to enforce its fundamental human rights by this suit. And once there is a clear case of double identity presented and proven before this court, this Application is dismissed for lack of capacity and locus standi.
Costs of GHC10,000 awarded against the Applicant in favour of the 1st Respondent.
