The High Court in Accra today granted A6, Col. (Rtd).Kwadwo Damoah, Member of Parliament for Jaman South, leave to travel to London from 11–15 May 2026.
In opposing the application, the Republic argued that the supporting letter attached to the application originated from the Minority Caucus and not from Parliament as an institution.
The Republic further submitted that, given the circumstances, it would have been more appropriate for the letter to have emanated from the Speaker of Parliament to reflect official institutional endorsement of an official travel to London to attend a training programme.
The Republic also argued that another member of the Minority Caucus who is not standing trial could have been selected for the programme.
The Court acknowledged the Republic’s concerns regarding the source of the supporting letter but held that insufficient evidence had been presented to show that Col. Rtd. Kwadwo Damoah (A6) would abscond if permitted to travel.
The Court consequently granted the application, ordering A6 to depart Ghana on 9 May 2026 and return on or before 17 May 2026.
