3 Institutions Fail To Appear Before Judgement Debt Commission

Representatives of three institutions who were billed to appear before the Judgement Debt Commission May 12 2014 to provide information on cases against them were unable to show up. When the cases were called, counsel for the commission, Mr Dometi Kofi Sorkpor, said the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning had requested the adjournment of the cases. In the case of the BNI, he said the BNI had informed the commission that due to the handover of the position of National Security Co-ordinator from Lt Col Larry Gbevlo-Lartey to Mr Yaw Donkor yesterday, its representatives could not appear before the commission. Officials of the BNI had been invited to provide information on cases against the BNI and notices of intention to sue the institution. The case was, therefore, adjourned to May 14, 2014.
