Sam George, the Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, expressed astonishment at the Supreme Court’s prioritization of legal cases.
George specifically questioned the Supreme Court’s decision to address the case of South Dayi MP, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, before that of private legal practitioner, Richard Dela Sky.
Richard Dela Sky filed an application on March 5 seeking to declare the anti-gay bill, null and void.
According to Sam George, the court’s order of proceedings would have been fairer if it had first heard the case regarding the anti-gay bill before moving on to the matter involving the South Dayi MP.
“What is surprising to me is that the Chief Justice has not called the Richard Sky case, which is almost four weeks old, before the court to hear that, but has called the case that was less than a week old. Because it is the same principle.
“The principle the Supreme Court has espoused here, if you apply that to the Richard Sky case, that case also has to be thrown out, because it is equally frivolous because the Supreme Court has no power to stay the hands of the president.
“But if the judiciary is not biased and showing a mind of its own, especially the chief justice, they would have called those cases because common sense is part of legislation and the work of the judiciary.”
