Attorney General slaughters John Mahama on the altar of Annual Bar Conference in Ho…Say JM’s unwarranted attacks on the judiciary deplorable, and embarrassing
The Minister for Justice and Attorney General, Mr. Godfred Yeboah Dame is said to have slaughtered former President of the Republic of Ghana, Mr. John Dramani Mahama on the altar of the Annual Bar Conference in Ho in the Volta region.
The Attorney General and Minister for Justice seem not to understand how the former president under the fourth Republic should openly criticize the country’s Judiciary.
He describes Mr. Mahama’s criticism of the Judiciary as unjustified attacks.
The Attorney General who was addressing lawyers at the Ghana Bar Association Annual Conference in Ho urged well-meaning Ghanaians to call out the former president, lest his conduct derails Ghana’s democratic growth.
According to Mr. Dame, the unwarranted utterances dent the image of the judiciary, a development he claimed threatens the peace and well-being of the country.
“It was great dismay and embarrassment that, I heard a person who has occupied the highest office of state that is the former President recently launched an unwarranted attack on the integrity of Ghana’s Judiciary. I observe that this was the latest installment of systematic attack by the former President, albeit unjustified”.
“I am compelled to comment on same in this address because they border on the security of the state and constitute a deliberate pattern of conduct aimed at undermining the independence of the Judiciary, an arm of government whose autonomy is crucial to its proper functioning”.
“Such conduct is clearly deplorable, coming from one who has occupied the highest office of President and aspires again to that office. At this moment, it is important for all to note that I express this sentiment not because I stand in opposition to former President Mahama as a politician”, Mr. Dame reiterated.
