Following an interlocutory injunction application filed at an Accra High Court, the National Identification Authority (NIA) has suspended the mass registration exercise in the Eastern Region, GhanaWeb has gathered.
In an internal memo to the staff, the NIA said the suspension of the registration exercise takes effect from Saturday, March 21, 2020 until the application is heard by the court.
“All staff are required to report for work and render proper accounting of registration equipment, materials and consumables in their custody to the Senior Registration Officers (SROs) with immediate effect”, the memo reportedly stated.
An interlocutory injunction is a court order to compel or prevent a party from doing certain acts pending the final determination of the case.
It is an order made at an interim stage during the trial, and is usually issued to maintain the status quo until judgment can be made.
