The Chief Justice of Ghana has dismissed a petition filed against Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang after concluding that there is insufficient evidence to warrant further investigation or constitutional proceedings.
According to an official statement from the Presidency Communications Office dated November 10, 2026, the preliminary inquiry into the petition submitted by Mr Edward Adeti found that no prima facie case had been established against Justice Pwamang.
The petition was reviewed in accordance with Article 146(3) of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana, which outlines the constitutional procedures for dealing with petitions involving superior court judges.
Following the preliminary assessment, the Chief Justice determined that the evidence presented did not meet the constitutional requirements for initiating further investigations or disciplinary proceedings against the Supreme Court Justice.
Consequently, no additional action will be taken on the petition, and the matter has officially been declared closed.
The Office of the President has assured Ghanaians that the petition was handled in line with the country’s constitutional provisions, established legal procedures and principles of due process.
The announcement was signed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Member of Parliament and Spokesperson to the President, who also serves as Minister of Government Communications.
The decision brings an end to the petition against Justice Gabriel Pwamang, following the Chief Justice’s determination that there were insufficient grounds for further constitutional action.
