The Ghana Journalists' Association, GJA has been ordered to appear before an Accra High Court within eight days following a writ against it by one Caroline Boateng.
Ms Boateng, the plaintiff is claiming an order against the President of the GJA, Dr. Roland Affail Monney, the Executive Council and the Election Committee of the association.
She is also restraining the executives from holding themselves as officers.
The writ issued yesterday by Emmanuel Maurice Ankrah who doubles as lawyer for the plaintiff is further seeking for the appointment of an Interim Management Committee.
To this effect, the plaintiff is asking the court to declare all actions of the Ghana Journalists' Association from the 17th of November last year to date null and void.
The new development has been greeted with mixed reactions from a section of the media with some describing it as needless and unfortunate especially at a time when all prospective candidates are through with their respective filing of nominations awaiting the date of the election.
