The Supreme Court rules against sections of the Citizenship Act, allowing dual citizens to hold positions such as Chief Justice and Chief Director.
In the case of Francis Osei-Bonsu v The Attorney General, the Supreme Court declared certain sections of the Citizenship Act unconstitutional, permitting dual citizens to serve in various high-ranking positions.
The court's decision, delivered by a majority, nullifies the sections that bar dual citizens from roles including Chief Justice, Commissioner of the Value Added Tax Service, and Chief Director of a Ministry.
Represented by Bright Okyere-Adjekum Esq., the plaintiff, Francis Osei-Bonsu, successfully challenged the constitutionality of these provisions.
The ruling effectively amends Article 289(2) of the 1992 Constitution, allowing dual citizens to be appointed to key government positions previously restricted to single citizens.
