NDC Government with President Prof. John Evans Atta-Mills in 2009 set the Governance precedence by asking the Auditor General Mr. Edward Dua Agyemang, to proceed on Leave effective 15th April, 2009 to take his accumulated leave of 264 days.
And this was 14 years ago.
Prez.
@NAkufoAddo
based on the precedence set by the NDC Government asked the Auditor General to proceed on leave to take his accumulated leave of 123 days.
The decision of the Supreme Court in the CDD v. Attorney-General case (the Domelevo case) strikes down a 14-year-old governance precedent established by President John Evans Atta-Mills in a letter dated 9 April 2009, which was followed by President Nana Akufo-Addo in a letter dated 29 June 2020.
The decision is good for our constitutional democracy as it brings clarity to this practice in the public service where persons are asked to proceed on accumulated leave, especially when there is a change of power.
Our Supreme Court is doing this country a lot of Great service with their constant landmark interpretations which is positively shaping our governance and democracy.
Kudos to our venerable Supreme Court judges.
Slowly but steadily we shall Rise
