The Comptroller General of the Ghana Immigration Service, Kwame Takyi, today [Tuesday], failed to appear before the Accra High Court in a contempt suit brought against him by an Indian businessman, Ashok Sivaram.<\/p>\n
The Immigration Service boss was cited for contempt after he failed to comply with an order asking him to restore the work and residence permit of the businessman.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”ztofSokixADZKU3cqJ6rq23NTE1mVcgH”]Explaining the reasons for his non appearance in court, a representative of the Attorney General, Jasmine Armah, told the court that Mr. Takyi had traveled on official duty with the Interior Minister.<\/p>\n
She also told the court that they have filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal over the restoration order hence the non compliance.<\/p>\n
Ashok Kumar Sivaram has been seeking for the restoration of his visa, since a court quashed a deportation order by the interior ministry.<\/p>\n
