Frank Annor Dompreh, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsawam-Adoagyire Constituency in the Eastern Region, has been convicted for contempt by the High Court in Accra.
Justice Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku, presiding over the case, convicted Mr. Annor Dompreh after he previously pleaded guilty to the offense.
The Court emphasized that, as a prominent member of society, Mr. Annor Dompreh should have known better but opted to spare him a custodial sentence.
On Tuesday, July 23, Justice Adjin-Doku sentenced him to a fine of 600 penalty units, equivalent to GH₵7,200.
The MP was cited for contempt after it was reported to the High Court (Land Court 1) that he obstructed Court Bailiff and Police Officers while they were performing an execution related to disputed lands.
