Dr. Twerefour through his Lawyers, led by Mrs. Diana Asonaba Dapaah, are billed for a hearing at the Supreme Court on the 23rd day of June, 2026 for injunctive orders directed at the Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) and the Finance Minister restraining them from transfers from the DACF into the personal bank accounts of Members of Parliament (MPs).
The injunction application of the Plaintiff-Medical practitioner follows his writ filed on the 5th day of June, 2026. Per his writ, which can be read/downloaded here, Dr. Twerefour seeks declarative reliefs of unconstitutionality of payments from the DACF into the personal bank accounts of MPs.
In his motion seeking interlocutory orders, Mr. Twerefuor seeks "An order of interlocutory injunction specifically restraining the 2nd and 4th Defendants from paying, transferring of causing to be paid any DACF monies into the personal bank accounts of Members of Parliament, pending the final determination of this suit upon the grounds set forth in the accompanying affidavit"
Evidence of payments
As part of the processes filed to sway the Supreme Court to exercise its discretion in favour of the Plaintiff/Applicant, Dr. Twerefuor deposes to his affidavit and attaches the 2016 and 2026 formula for the distribution of funds of the DACF which captures distributions to MPs.
Per paragraphs 8, 9 and 10 of the Affidavit of Dr. Twerefuor supporting his injunction motion, a copy of which may be read/downloaded below: "8. That these documents show that DACF monies are expressly allocated to Members of Parliament, and distributed as a defined component of the Fund.
9. That I further rely on a Special Audit Report commissioned by the Ministry of Finance (Exhibit C.)

Balance of convenience
Dr. Twerefuor, convinced of the unconstitutionality of the said transfers per Article 252 and 187 of the 1992 Constitutions suggests to the Court that the refusal of his injunction motion shall occasion a dissipation of the DACF in an unconstitutional manner which shall be difficult to undo or monies retrieved.
The Applicant suggests therefore that the balance of convenience cannot tilt towards the Respondent-Ministers and MPs as restraining the Finance Minister and the Administrator of the funds from making payments to MPs via their personal bank accounts shall be keeping true with the dictates of Article 252 of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana.
