Abronye in his suit argued that the move by government is not enshrined in law and should be outrightly dismissed by the court. He is praying the apex court to declare as illegal, the decision by the committee and prevent government from effecting payment to the intended beneficiaries. Two members of Parliament on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress and one Fredrick Nii Commey have also filed a suit at the Supreme Court challenging the payment. A further declaration that the recommendations of the Committee, to the extent that it pertains to the 1st and 2nd Ladies of the Republic of Ghana, are null, void and of no effect. An order declaring the recommendations in respect of privileges, facilities, salaries, and allowances payable to the 1st and 2nd Ladies of the Republic of Ghana as unconstitutional and void.
