Government realigns Yohonu’s appointment in court filings

Government appears to have realigned the official title of Christian Yohonu as deputy inspector general of police in charge of operations to deputy Inspector-General of Police in official documents before the court.

The Attorney General responding to a suit against government over the appointment referenced the title as “deputy inspector general of police” instead of the former as was contained in the release from the Presidency announcing the appointment.

The official communication from the Presidency on the appointment read “President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo appointed Commissioner of Police (COP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the new deputy inspector general of police in charge of operations”.

However, the AG in his response to the suit repetitively refused to add the ‘In charge of Operations’ to the title noting in portions of his response: “The appointment of the 3rd Respondent as deputy inspector general of police was made by His Excellency the President of Ghana in accordance with the advice of the Police Council as required under Article 202 (3) of the Constitution 1992”.

Again, the Attorney General in further reaction to the suit said “ The president was performing his administrative functions and not exercising his adjudicatory powers when he appointed the 3rd Respondent as the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, therefore, Article 141 of the 1992 Constitution and Section 16 of Act 459 are not the appropriate statutory provisions to be invoked against him.”

Emmanuel Felix Mantey on 2 August 2024 filed a lawsuit challenging the appointment of COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno as the deputy Inspector-General of Police.

The plaintiff is seeking a court order prohibiting COP Christian Tetteh Yohuno from acting or purporting to act in the role of Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations.
