The Accra High Court has issued a bench warrant for the arrest of New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Berekum East, Dr Kwabena Twum Nuamah.
The decision comes after the MP refused to appear in court to answer contempt charges against him.
The MP and others were cited for contempt of court after using land guards to unlawfully develop a piece of land at Dome Pillar 2 which has been the subject of a pending court case.
The High Court last Tuesday issued an order that the MP, Dr Kwabena Twum Nuamah and his accomplice one, Majima Shaibu Mohammed be arraigned on Wednesday 27th September 2017, to show cause why they should not be committed to prison for contempt.
According to the warrant, in spite of the pending suits, the respondents/contemnors are still developing the land unlawfully and in total disrespect to the authority of the courts.
