News available to Adom News indicates that in spite of the court injunction placed on the biometric registration at Akuse, the Eastern regional office of the Electoral Commission has proceeded on the exercise. Some youth of Akuse who tried resisting the exercise were allegedly driven off by police officers amidst firing of warning shots. An Accra Fast Track High Court on Monday placed an injunction on the biometric voters’ registration in Akuse town upon a writ filed by the Chief of Akuse Nene Kuleape Tetriku. The Akuse Chief argues that, Akuse is yet to be appropriately placed under any region. The Electoral Commission (EC) in April suspended biometric Voters’ registration for the people of Akuse due to boundary dispute between two traditional areas over the town but later, the EC set 10th July, 2012 as date for the registration. When contacted, the District Police Commander for Akuse, DSP Douglas Kumah stated that, he was busy at the moment and was not in the position to speak. He could therefore not confirm or deny the alleged indiscriminate firing of warning shots in the Akuse town. In another development, Adom News has learnt that the Akuse Chief is filing a case of contempt through his lawyer Captain Nkrabeah Effah Darteh (retired), against EC. Akuse Chief had filed a writ at an Accra Fast Track High Court seeking an interpretation of PNDC law 26 as amended by PNDC Law 28 upon the recent Supreme Court ruling on Akuse. He argued, the recent Supreme Court ruling never placed Akuse under Lower Manya Krobo in the Eastern region as being claimed by the people of Krobo area. Akuse had been at the centre of a dispute between the Dangme West District, now the Shai Osudoku District, in the Greater Accra Region and the Lower Manya Krobo District in the Eastern Region following the decision of the Parliamentary Committee on Subsidiary Legislation to place the Akuse Electoral Area under the Dangme West District in the Greater Accra Region, a move which infuriated the authorities and residents of the Manya Krobo Traditional Area. In its judgment, the Supreme Court declared as null and void the decision of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Subsidiary Legislation to place the Akuse Electoral Area under the Dangme West District in the Greater Accra Region. It said Parliament was procedurally wrong in enacting the LI because the action contravened Article 11 (7) of the 1992 Constitution and subsequently declared the original version of the LI which placed Akuse under the Eastern Region as valid. However the Supreme Court, presided over by Justice William Atuguba, in a unanimous decision, declined to rule on a dispute raging between two chiefs connected to the boundary dispute. According to the court, it only had the power to deal with the constitutional aspect of the suit and emphasised that it was the Regional House of Chiefs which had the mandate to determine chieftaincy matters. Based on this ruling, Chief of Akuse Nene Kuleape Tetriku directed his Counsel Capt. Nkrabeah Effah Darteh (retired) to file a writ at a High Court to seek an interpretation to PNDC law 26 as amended by PNDC Law 28 since, he believed that, it was this Law that placed Akuse under Shai Osudoku traditional area in the Greater Accra region.
