For one month now I have been chasing my cash back on a policy I have with you and you have failed to pay. The explanation: my policy benefits have been paid to a different person and unless that person refunds the money I will not be paid mine.

@barkervogues Counsel, I rented a place for a poultry farm for 2yrs at 4,800.00 and undertook repairs at 29k which was to become part of the rent. Can the person evict me from the place by paying the 29k after the 2yrs? Agreement was verbal. What remedies do I have under law?

1. Procedurally speaking and legally thinking, how is a High Court called upon to prohibit Parliament from performing its Constitutional functions based on a supposed unconstitutional conduct that hasn’t been so decreed by the Supreme Court?
2. Whether or not a High Court has jurisdiction to determine the validity of Constitutional conducts or acts committed within the terms of Article 146 of the Constitution, and ipso facto proceed to certiorari same?
Article 130(1) states: “Subject to the jurisdiction of the High Court in the enforcement of the Fundamental Human Rights and Freedoms as provided in article 33 of this Constitution, the Supreme Court shall have exclusive original jurisdiction in -
(a) all matters relating to the enforcement or interpretation
of this Constitution”
3. Whether or not the mere filing of an action in the High Court operates to injuct a constitutional authority like Parliament from performing its functions like the vetting of the new CJ nominee.
In re Dafeamekpor vrs AG, [2024] unreported, an action that sought to challenge the validity of the Npp Govt’s Ministerial Nominations after a sudden reshuffle, the SC held that the Court cannot injunct Parliament from performing its constitutional functions because of the pendency of an action.

BIG BIG BOOST FOR BASIC EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE
In 2025, government is disbursing 80 per cent of the GHC 7.5 billion District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) directly to the districts; an improvement over a 50 per cent maximum in previous years.
According to the Ministry of Finance, each district will receive a DACF of at least GHS 25 million this year, of which 20 per cent (GHS 5 million) is reserved for basic school infrastructure and furniture. The first tranche of almost GHS 1 billion has been released.
This is an unprecedented big boost for basic education infrastructure through decentralized financing, aside the national level GETFund allocation of GHC 1.3 billion to basic education.
Now, let me explain what the GHC 5 million per district can do for basic education infrastructure, and why we must be involved:
In a deprived district like Tatale Sanguli, where 70 per cent of primary schools have no Junior High School (JHS), the GHS 5 million can build six (6) furnished JHS blocks in 2025 alone. That is more than the total built in the past ten years, which is five.
This will improve the low transition from Primary 6 to JHS in that district, and ensure many more Primary 6 graduates access JHS in line with the national target (99%).
If this policy is sustained for four (4) years and focused on JHS infrastructure, Tatale is projected to reduce its huge JHS deficit by 60 per cent, and halve its Primary 6 to JHS 1 dropout rate by 2028.
Given the current rate of building 5 JHS every 10 years in Tatale Sanguli, it would have taken 48 years to achieve this. This is why we must all support by monitoring fund use.
@AfricaEduWatch is developing a tracking framework to monitor how districts use the GHS 5 million education allocation.
We will be partnering with local NGOs and committed, non-partisan citizens to voluntarily track procurement and implementation.
