The newly elected Member of Parliament for Adenta Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore has been made to cough out GH¢ 6,837.12 for failing to pay back a loan he contracted from a savings and loan company in Accra.

He took the money from First Allied Savings & Loans but defaulted in the payment, compelling the financial institution to seek the intervention of an Accra Circuit Court for the MP to pay back the amount.

Yesterday at about 7am bailiffs accompanied by armed policemen stormed the Adenta residence of the MP to carry out the court’s order.

The law enforcers had targeted Mr. Ashie Moore’s property including a BMW X5 Series (GN 6281 Z) and a Mercedes Benz (GS 2012 - 12) to defray the cost of the loan.

Sensing embarrassment, the MP paid the amount in cash before he was given a respite.

However, his woes are not yet over as the court ordered that he should pay interest accruing from April 2012 as well as other incidental costs associated with the execution order.

In disposing off the case, the court presided over by Ms Ramaine Abele Abbey also awarded GH¢ 300 cost against Mr. Ashie-Moore.

In preparation for the execution of the court’s order, the First Deputy Judicial Secretary, John B. Nabarese wrote to the police on February 19, 2013 notifying them of the intention of the 28^th February Road (Cocoa Affairs) Court’s Sheriff Officers to go into execution per the Writ of Fifa issued on December 20, 2012.

The police on February 22, 2013 accepted to go into execution and Director-General/Legal & Prosecutions ASP A.A Alichewu in a letter warned the officers sent out to effect the court’s order “not to be directly involved in the execution but only to maintain law and order whilst officials of the court execute the order.”
