I'll appeal against judgement

Mr Philip Apaloo, resident of Kaneshie, who challenged the nomination and vetting of the Acting chief Justice, Justice J.A. Wiredu at the High Court has told the "Ghanaian Voice" that he will appeal against the ‘Gyina ho dze’ judgement given by Justice Yaw Apau.

He said he was surprised that Justice Yaw Apau said in his judgement that the case is a constitutional matter and that he as a small fish could not take decisions reserved for sharks.

Justice Apau further indicated that "who am I to judge my boss?"

Mr Apaloo contended that he is not satisfied with the judgement and that he is now consulting his counsel to move to the appeal court.

He said he does not see any basis for the rejection of his application and that if the High Court has no jurisdiction then the best thing for it to do is to push the case to the doorstep of the Supreme Court.
