Ghana's Bar Association: Silence During NPP, Outcry Under NDC?

Ghana's Chief Justice Removal Process: A Bar Association's Silence Questioned Ghana is currently grappling with discussions surrounding the Chief Justice removal process. These discussions have been heightened by comments from Prof. Ransford Gyampo, acting CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority. In a recent video, Prof. Gyampo raises concerns about the Ghana Bar Association's perceived bias in its responses to different political administrations. He notes that the Association has been notably quiet during the NPP's tenure but has become more vocal during the NDC's time in office. "Do we really have a Bar Association in Ghana?" Gyampo questions in the video. "Why do they keep quiet when the NPP is in power but want to be heard when the NDC is in government?" His remarks have sparked debate about the Association's role and its perceived political leanings. The video highlights a specific instance where a group of 40 people from the Bar Association met, suggesting a lack of unified action or stance. This raises questions about the organization's internal dynamics and its ability to act as an independent body. The video's content is informative and thought-provoking, highlighting a critical aspect of the Ghanaian political system. The Ghana Bar Association has not yet issued an official response to these accusations. However, the video has already generated significant discussion on social media and in the Ghanaian media, raising concerns about the Association's credibility and its role in upholding the rule of law.
