he Supreme Court has struck out a suit challenging the continuous stay in office of Chief Executive of the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), Dr. KK Sarpong despite being above the retirement age of 60.
The court struck out the suit after the applicant, a Deputy Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Edem Agbana withdrew the suit.
Mr. Agbana in 2019 sought an order directing Dr. Sarpong to resign immediately from his position as CEO of GNPC as he had attained the age of 65 which surpasses the legal age for retirement of public offices.
Mr. Agbana had prayed the court to force Dr. Sarpong to pay back all salaries, allowances and benefits he obtained from the GNPC after he crossed the retirement age.
He was also seeking for an order forcing Dr. Sarpong “to resign immediately from his position as CEO of Ghana National Petroleum Corporation.”
