Lawyer Maurice Ampaw, who is also alleged to have made similar derogatory remarks on radio, is expected to appear alongside Chairman Wontumi.
In response to the invitation, Mr. Ampaw said in an interview on Joy FM's Top Story on January 22 that he is willing to go "out of respect," even though he has the right to be represented by a lawyer.
"I will go on Monday out of regard," he brought up.
He referenced that it just exists in the locale of the High Court to orally broaden solicitations. Subsequently, he expects to get a proper notification to explain the reason for the greeting.

He mentioned that despite the fact that he has not been officially notified of any summons, he is always prepared to attend the meeting in order to voice his concern.
Legal advisor Ampaw kept up with his position on the remarks he passed before the request.
