Stop demeaning the courts – GBA slams partisan attorneys

The Association also asked stakeholders to work together to make protests and demonstrations less violent. To that end, GBA President Yaw Acheampong Boafo emphasised the importance of a national debate to establish routes designated as security zones and asked protest organisers to refrain from utilising unsuitable themes like as the #OccupyJulorbiHouse movement.

The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has chastised political attorneys who attempt to undermine the courts at every chance.

Many people have criticised the judiciary in recent years for what they see as biased decisions.

The GBA stated during a news briefing on Wednesday that such charges were false.

It called such complaints made by its members “worrying.”

Yaw Acheampong Boafo, President of the Ghana Bar Association, encouraged members to refrain from such behaviour.

“Our colleagues who are members of political parties must understand that their primary fidelity is to the legal profession, and it is worrisome when members of the GBA join the chorus of partisan populace to denigrate the image of the legal profession and the judiciary. We should not allow politics to divide us, and we should not subject ourselves to the dictates and wishes of politicians and sacrifice the nobility of our profession.”

The Association also asked stakeholders to work together to make protests and demonstrations less violent.

“Inasmuch as possible, identifiable leaders or leaders of people embarking on or taking part in processions or demonstrations should agree to routes to be used during such demonstrations so as to avoid situations where the rights and freedoms of other people who are not taking part in the demonstrations are violated or trampled.”

GUTA is asking answers from ECG about the true reasons of the unpredictable power outages, measures to resolve the issue, and a deadline for resolution. They also requested ECG to publish a timeframe for load-shedding so that companies may organise their activities appropriately. Because of the unpredictability of power outages, many shop owners have turned to generators, which has resulted in rising fuel costs to keep them operating during outages.

The Ghana Union of Traders’ Associations (GUTA) has joined demands for the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) to produce a load-shedding schedule, citing the persistent power outages that are badly impacting companies and livelihoods across the nation.

GUTA issued a statement emphasising the considerable impact of the power outages on many sectors, including agriculture, trade, and industry.

According to them, firms are struggling to meet production schedules and prepare for their personnel as a result of the irregular power supply, which raises production costs and degrades living conditions.

Traders, store owners, wholesalers, tailors, dressmakers, electricians, and other artists are also suffering business losses as a result of the “Dumsor phenomenon.”
