In a post on Wednesday, December 10, the Deputy AG disclosed that the citizen, identified as Noah Adamtey, has taken legal action against the Attorney General, arguing that Parliament exceeded its constitutional mandate in creating an independent prosecutorial office outside the control of the AG.
“I can confirm that a citizen – @NoahAdamtey – has sued the Attorney-General in Supreme Court suit number J1/3/2026,” Mr Srem-Sai wrote.
