The Supreme Court has ordered plaintiffs Nana Asante Bediatuo, Elekplelim Agbameva and Alfred Tuah-Yeboah to consolidate their statement of case and file their Memorandum of Issues on their suit challenging the remission granted the Montie 3 by former President John Mahama while he was in office.
The Montie 3: Godwin Ako Gunn, Alistair Taro Nelson and Salifu Maase (Mugabe) were granted the remission by Mr Mahama after having served a month of their three-month jail term pronounced on them by the Supreme Court for contempt.
They had made threatening comments against the Chief Justice and some members of the bench in connection with a ruling by the same court ordering the Electoral Commission to submit a list of persons who registered with NHIS cards.
The remission granted by Mr Mahama did not go down well with Mr Bediatuo, who is now serving as President Nana Akufo-Addo’s Executive Secretary, as well as the two others.
In court on Tuesday, 14 February, court correspondent Ama Brako Ampofo reported that the plaintiffs sought interpretation of Article 72 of 1992 Constitution which requires that the president consults the Council of State in granting pardon or remission to convicted criminals.
A seven-member panel chaired by Justice Sophia Adinyira ordered the three plaintiffs to consolidate their cases as they are all seeking the same reliefs.
They are praying the court to order the arrest of the Montie 3 to complete the remainder of their jail term.
The case was adjourned indefinitely as the 1st plaintiff Nana Asante Bediatuo and his lawyer Godfred Yeboah Dame were out of the jurisdiction of the court.

Who is Mr Law? was he not Mr Law when the likes of Tsikata whipped him so bad that he had to be changed to the ministry of foreign Affairs? There is no need for name callings that all. If those ppl really want to seek interpretation into the law its good but if there is any mischief attached it will back fire and the disgrace would be massive even to the point of destroying the careers of the lawyers.
The Montie3 should go and tell Prof Botwey facts finding committee that their release from jail was 50% cost of defeating N. D. C in the election.
What Asante Bediatuo is doing is right. We need interpretation of the law so that in future no president who hide behind the so called council of state and fuuuuuuuuulishly grant pardon to criminals. Those NDC people insulting him here can go ahead that is why you are in opposition. You will remain there forever. fuuuuuuuls
I think Kweku boahene was right when he said Ghanaians have voted for fuull to lead them. How would be so ediotic to create a problem where there is none. The case has been closed, but because of fuulishnesss nana Addo and his friends are trying to reopen this and create confusion in the country. It looks as if they made up their mind to destroy Ghana if ndc won, so even after God in his own wisdom gave them the chance to govern, they still want to pursue their evil agenda. How necessary is it for this case to be pursue at a time that an election has been held and you have won. Instead pursuing an agenda to bring the nation together, you are seeking your pound of flesh. What nun sense.
