Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the MP for North Tongu, has instructed his lawyers to accept service of a contempt application brought against him to ensure an expeditious disposal of the matter before the court.

Ablakwa has provided an undertaking to the court through his lawyers – [email protected] – to receive a contempt application brought against him.

“To avoid any delays and ensure an expeditious disposal of the application before the court, our client [Hon. Ablakwa] has instructed us to accept service of the application for contempt on his behalf in terms of the provisions of Order 7 rule 12(2) of the rules of the court,” the letter dated 22 February 2023 said.

“We are by this letter confirming that our office clerk in the name of Abu Omoru will present himself at the registry of the court on Thursday 23 February 2023 to accept service of the application for contempt. Alternatively, you may cause a bailiff employed with the Judicial Service to effect service of the application for contempt on us at our office address indicated below,” it added.

It is currently unclear whether the application has been personally served on Ablakwa through his lawyers. All efforts to reach the MP and his lawyers proved futile.
