Dr. Omane Boamah is one of the ministers who brought a case against the NPP chairman, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey

Dep. Ministers to push for review of Court ruling on Jake’s bungalow
The two Deputy Ministers of State who lost a case
of conflict of interest brought against NPP
chairman, Jake Obetsebi Lamptey say they will
continue with the fight to reclaim the bungalow
under contention.

Deputy Information Minister, Samuel Okudzeto
Ablakwa and Deputy Sports Minister, Omane Boamah
had asked the court to annul Mr. Obetsebi
Lamptey’s attempted purchase of a government
bungalow he occupied whiles serving as a minister
of Tourism.

The Supreme Court however ruled that the
plaintiffs failed to prove the conflict of
interest allegation they leveled against the NPP
chairman.

Speaking to Citi News, Dr. Omane Boamah served
notice they will fight to have the ruling reversed
because it is not in the interest of the general
Ghanaian public.

“We vehemently disagree with the ruling and in due
course, early next week, a series of actions and
activities that will ensure a reversal of this
decision, will be taken,” he told Citi News.

On May 9, the case which started in 2008 was
adjourned and a preliminary ruling for Mr.
Obetsebi-Lamptey had it that the plaintiffs should
have gone to CHRAJ if they were alleging abuse of
office and conflict of interest.
