Ablakwa vs Kusi Boateng: The courts shouldn’t impede Parliament’s work – Bright Simons

Bright Simons, who is the vice president of the think tank Imani Centre for Policy and Education, said that the courts shouldn't get in the way of Parliament's investigations.

Mr. Simon's statement was a direct response to the news that Rev. Kusi Boateng, Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral Secretariat, had gotten an interim injunction against the Member of Parliament (MP) to stop him from saying anything else about him.

“A Ghanaian court has granted a 10-day ‘interim order’ against a Member of Parliament investigating a matter of conflict of interest against a powerful clergyman who served as secretary to the ‘National Cathedral’. Courts should not impede Parliament’s public accountability work!” Mr Simons said in a tweet on social media.

Mr Simons added that the court should not become an impediment to the work of Parliament.
“Ghanaians, esp the middle classes, frequently complain that Parliament is weak. Parliament is made up of human beings. Only bold & courageous MPs will make Parliament strong. The courts should, thus, not emasculate MPs when they are on the trail of matters of real public interest!” He complained.
