The Ho High court has struck out its order seeking a warrant arrest of the Water Resources Works and Housing minister, Kwaku Agyemang Mensah.

This follows one of the defendants, Dredging International, securing an appeals court order to stay the execution of the warrant and contempt charges against the Minister in Koforidua.

The Ho High court presided over by Mr Justice Patrick Baayeh issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the minister for failing to appear before it on five occasions.

The Minister was alleged to have refused to appear before the court to answer a contempt charge filed against him in connection with the destruction caused in the execution of the Ada Sea Defence Project.

The warrant ordered the Inspector General of Police to arrest Dr. Kwaku Agyemang-Mensah and produce him in court
