The President has declined to take further action on a petition against Supreme Court Justice Yonny Kulendi after the Chief Justice advised that the petition failed to establish a prima facie case.
In a statement released on December 16, 2025, Government Communications Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu said the President acted in strict compliance with Article 146 of the Constitution by referring the petition to the Chief Justice for review. Upon assessment, the Chief Justice concluded that the allegations did not meet the legal threshold required to proceed.
The ruling means no formal investigation will be conducted, as the petition was found to lack a sufficient legal foundation.
The petition alleged that Justice Kulendi breached judicial ethics by interfering in the ambulance procurement case involving Cassiel Ato Forson and two others, despite not presiding over the matter.
According to the petitioner, the alleged actions amounted to a breach of the Code of Conduct for Judges and Magistrates and posed a risk to public confidence in the independence and integrity of the judiciary.
However, following a review of the petition, the Chief Justice advised that the allegations did not warrant further legal action, a clarification the Presidency has since reiterated.
