The Chief Justice, Paul Baffoe-Bonnie has concluded a preliminary inquiry into a petition filed against Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang, determining that no prima facie case has been established to warrant further investigation.
The petition, filed by investigative journalist Edward Adeti, sought the removal of Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang and was examined in accordance with Article 146(3) of the 1992 Constitution.
In a statement issued by the Presidency on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the Office of the President said the constitutional threshold required to initiate further proceedings had not been met.
Consequently, no further action will be taken on the petition, and the matter has been declared closed.
The statement, signed by the Spokesperson to the President and Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, said the process had been “handled in accordance with the applicable constitutional procedures and principles of due process.”
The decision brings the petition against the Supreme Court Justice to a close, with no further proceedings expected.
