No Prima Facie Case Established in Petition Against Justice Yonny Kulendi- Presidency

Presidency has communicated that a prima facie could not be established in a petition against Justice Yonny Kulendi, a Justice of the Supreme Court.

According to Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Spokesperson to the President, the petition following the President’s receipt was forwarded to the Chief Justice in accordance with Article 146 of the Constitution.

“The Chief Justice wrote to the President indicating that the petition did not disclose a prima facie case.”

The President has since communicated the notice from the CJ to the petitioner, he reported.

Background
The petition filed by Daniel Marfo Ofori-Atta on October 2, 2025, accused the Justice of alleged attempts to interfere with the administration of justice in the trial case of the Republic v Cassiel Ato Forson & 2 others, which had his cousin, Richard Jakpa, as one of the accused persons.

Marfo Ofori-Atta stated that his behaviour constituted misbehaviour, rendering Justice Kulendi unfit for the position.
