The Supreme Court has set July 17 to decide whether to grant a request for an injunction by the lawyers of Dr. Amada Odoi and Richard Dela Sky against Parliament - a ruling which will decide whether Parliament can transmit the anti-LGBTQ bill to the President for signing.
"If the bill becomes law, the damage of the harm, the indignity that the constitution will suffer, can never be compensated," Mr Ernest Arkoh, lead counsel for Dr. Odoi said, pointing to documents that the Speaker's lawyers filed which did not include an actual impact analysis. He supported his arguments, citing one particular situation of the president's refusal to sign the anti-Witchcraft bill over similar concerns of no submission of an impact analysis on public funds.
Richard Sky's lawyers continued after more than two hours of oral arguments in the previous hearing in the Amanda Odoi case. They also made their arguments based on violations of Article 108, indicating they agreed with the submissions by the AG on the cause of burden to the public purse.
