Supreme Court rules on Injunction filed on Ato Forson for putting public funds into his bank account

The Supreme Court of Ghana dismissed an injunction motion filed by Dr. Ato Forson (former Attorney General and current Finance Minister) against the transfer of 5% of tax revenues from the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) to Members of Parliament's personal bank accounts for monitoring and evaluation of constituency projects. The court ruled that since this practice has been in place since 1997, it should not be disrupted through an interlocutory ruling, and instead, a well-reasoned judgment should be provided to address the underlying issues. The court determined that the matter involves administrative practices rather than constitutional issues, and that disrupting the funding of monitoring and evaluation activities would cause significant hardship to state institutions.
