According to Mr Osei-Wusu, the vetting would go ahead because neither the committee nor the office of Parliament has been served with a copy of the suit.

Dr Ayine is court to challenge the age of Mr Amidu, the Special Prosecutor designate.

He is praying the court to declare that, by reason of the fact that Mr Amidu is 66 years old, he is not qualified to be nominated as the Special Prosecutor under Section 13 (3) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2018 (Act 959).

The applicant, who has joined the Attorney-General to the suit as a co-defendant, is seeking a further declaration that, by reason of his age, Mr Amidu is not qualified or eligible to be approved by Parliament as the Special Prosecutor under Section 13 (3) of the Office of the Special Prosecutor Act, 2018 (Act 959), is unconstitutional and, therefore, null and void.
