The Human Rights Court has thrown out a restraining order suit brought against the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa by Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng, the Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral Project.
The court further declared the actions of Rev. Kusi Boateng which borders on double identities to be criminal therefore dismissing the application for lack of capacity and locus.
The judge awarded a cost of GH¢10,000 against the Man of God, also known on other official documents as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi. This is the second time cost has been awarded against Kusi Boateng.
The applicant, Rev. Kusi Boateng on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, filed an order of injunction against the MP restraining him from further publications on him. He further prayed the court to cause the respondent Ablakwa to stop making critical publications about him.
The court in its ruling on Thursday, July 13, 2023, said the Applicant’s (Kusi Boateng) 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.
