In July 2024, The Supreme Court, upheld the constitutionality of Section 104 (1) (b) of the criminal code (Criminal Offences Act, Act 29) – the law on unnatural carnal knowledge.
The Plaintiff, Dr. Prince Obiri Korang contended that the provision on unnatural carnal knowledge offends Articles 18(2), 17(2) and 14(1) of the Constitution, 1992.
