Frank Annor Dompreh convicted for Contempt, fined GHc7,200
Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyire Constituency in the Eastern Region, Frank Annor Dompreh, has been convicted of contempt by the High Court in Accra.
The court, presided over by Justice Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku, convicted him after he previously pleaded guilty to the offence.
The court stated that although Mr. Annor Dompreh is not an ordinary member of society, it would spare him a custodial sentence.
Justice Adjin-Doku, while sentencing him on Tuesday, July 23, imposed a fine of 600 penalty units on him, which is equivalent to GH₵7,200.
The MP was cited for contempt after it was brought to the attention of the High Court (Land Court 1) that he disrupted the work of court bailiffs and police officers when they were carrying out an execution of work over disputed lands.
