An Accra High Court (Human Rights Division) has given the state seven days to file a statement of case in respect of a suit brought against the Minister for Regional Reintegration, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice and the Commission of Inquiry for the creation of new regions, by the chief of Srogboe in the Keta Municipality of the Volta Region, Togbi Patamia IV.<\/p>\n
Lawyer for Togbi Patamia and some six other petitioners filed the application for judicial review of the meetings of the Commission held in the Volta Region between January 15 and 20, 2018, which they have described as discriminatory.<\/p>\n
According to the plaintiffs, the Commission concentrated its meetings only in the northern parts of the region, neglecting those in the south.<\/p>\n
