West Blue case; Afenyo Markin heads for supreme court

Lawyer Alex Afenyo Marking, lawyer for the freight forwarder, has revealed to journalists in Accra that he is heading to the Supreme Court to file a certiorari against the implementation against the implementation of the single- window scheme.

 

Lawyer for clearing agent, Michael Djan,  who filed an interlocutory injunction against Government's decision to out source destination inspection duties under the single-window inspection system at the ports to private company west blue has decided to head to the supreme court to issue a certiorari against government.

Justice Keneth Okwabie who presided over the  case in The Accra Human Rights Court on the 31st of August, denied the application for an injunction on grounds that documents available to the court reveal that the contract had already been signed.

This is on grounds that the Human Rights Court told the plaintiffs when they earlier filed for an injunction that the application was too early, as government had not made a concrete decision to award any contract to west Blue.

According Alex Afenyo Markin, that decision earlier, contradicts the latest decision by the court, that their application is too late.

Alex Afenyo Markin further asserted that an appeal will not be enough for the kind of error that has been made here.

Meanwhile, Deputy Finance minister, Mona Quartey is urging all private companies especially banks to take advantage of the the single-window scheme.
