I have celebrated a lot of friends who were called to the bar. The few that I joined them in person, the joy of the occasion led us to another bar. The one that one is not called to, but you voluntarily call yourself to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I felt sad reading the resolution from the Ghana Bar Association. Did i really read that the association really meant the following:<\/p>\n

1. They are not happy that Ablekumah North has not been declared for almost 4 months, but were okay that SALL remained unrepresented for 4 years. I thought the law was the law, and everyone got the law.
\n2. They are not happy with the directive from the acting Chief Justice in assigning courts and dates?
\n3. The president should release the decisions and processes taken for the president to arrive at the prima facia? How could supposed legal brains ask for a constitutionally required private process to be made public?<\/p>\n

For the rest of their demands, it’s in their right to show their biases. However, it is sad for them not to see the strides the government is making in the galamsey fight and the Bawku conflict.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, if you consider how the GBA within a week is shifting its stands, it becomes necessary to check what may be behind the screens.<\/p>\n

The president of the Ghana BAR Association, Mrs Afua Ghartey, wife of Hon Joe Ghartey, may have a beautiful profile in law and religion, but if love plays a role in what we do, then her love for her husband and by extension NPP has pushed her to sign a questionable release.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hon Joe Ghartey is likely to face the law in respect to his role in the 2 million dollar sky train fiasco as the railway minister. Which lawyer wouldn’t want to have a partisan judge to handle this?<\/p>\n

Comrades, the directive is about them and not us.They will eat what they cook for sale because it would not be bought. We were voted for to reset Ghana, and we are doing just that. They only get their voice back when NDC is in power.<\/p>\n

Comrades, let’s keep hope alive. There are better days ahead.<\/p>\n
