Spare the judiciary of your divisive politics- GBA tells politicians

The President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), Yaw Acheampong Boafo, has called for an end to the politicisation of Ghana’s judiciary.

His remarks come amid the increasing political commentary surrounding high-profile court cases in the country.

At the remembrance service for the Martyrs of the Rule of Law, held at the Cavalry Baptist Church in Accra on Sunday, June 30, Mr. Boafo lamented the current trend of framing judicial matters through a political lens.

“We must spare the judiciary our divisive partisanship. It is sad that public commentary relative to cases of public interest pending in court has taken on political colouration,” he said on Sunday.

Mr Boafo reiterated a point he made at the 2023 Annual General Conference of the Ghana Bar Association, emphasising that the judiciary operates independently of political affiliations.
