The Supreme Court has dismissed a case seeking to have Dr K.K Sarpong removed as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC).

The NDC’s Eric Edem Agbana had through his lawyers argued that Dr Sarpong's continuous stay in office as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GNPC after attaining the age of 65 was a breach of Article 199 of the 1992 constitution.

He wanted an order for Dr Sarpong to pay back to the GNPC all salaries, allowances and benefits he obtained from the GNPC from the date of attaining the age of 65 years to date.

He further wanted an order from the Apex Court for Dr Sarpong to resign immediately from his position.

Lawyers for Dr. Sarpong led by Kissi Agyebeng on Wednesday urged the Apex Court to dismiss the case.

They argued that, per the rules of court, Mr. Agbana should have filed his statement of case within 14 days of dragging Dr. Sarpong to court.

They said it has been 8 months since but this requirement has not been followed.

This, he explained shows that, the NDC's Deputy Youth Organizer has no intention of pursuing the case.

The court presided over by Chief Justice Anin-Yeboah dismissed the case.
