Aide to John Dramani Mahama is asking the public to disregard Attorney-General, Godfred Dame\u2019s response to the former President.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Joyce Bawa Mogtari said Mr. Dame rants like a baby.<\/p>\n
\u201cIgnore the rants of \u201cbaby\u201d Godfred Dame, who was probably not old enough to vote in the 28th April 1992 referendum to accept the draft constitution, and yet has the impudence to insult John Mahama and describes all Lawyers affiliated with the NDC as \u2018abettors\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The Former President, speaking at the NDC\u2019s Lawyers\u2019 Conference on Sunday, August 28, said it will take a new Chief Justice to repair the \u2018broken image\u2019 of the Judiciary.<\/p>\n
According to him, the current leadership of the Judiciary lacks what it takes to redeem its sunken image, hence the need for a new Chief Justice.<\/p>\n
However, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice on Monday September, 12 responded to former President John Mahama\u2019s critique of the Judiciary.<\/p>\n Mr. Godfred Yeboah Dame said the former President has developed the habit of criticising the Judiciary unnecessarily.<\/p>\n He thus described Mr. Mahama\u2019s attitude as deplorable and unbecoming of a former Head of State.<\/p>\n \u201cI 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.<\/p>\n \u201cSuch 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.<\/p>\n \u201cMy dismay is founded more on the fact that I am a lawyer and every lawyer ought to be concerned about these kinds of views expressed by a political leader in this country!,\u201d he said at Ghana Bar Association\u2019s Annual Conference on Monday.<\/p>\n Ignore the rants of \u201cbaby\u201d Godfred Dame, who was probably not old enough to vote in the 28th April 1992 referendum to accept the draft constitution, and yet has the impudence to insult John Mahama and describes all Lawyers affiliated with the NDC as \u201cabettors\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Joyce Bawah Mogtari (@joyce_bawah) September 12, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n According to Mrs. Bawa Mogtari, the A-G was too young at the time the 1992 Constitution was promulgated to appreciate Mr. Mahama\u2019s criticism of the Judiciary.<\/p>\n As a result, she wants any comments by him on Mr. Mahama\u2019s comments to be ignored.<\/p>\n Let it be known that in the history of the Ghana Bar,no Attorney General has used the Bar conference as a platform to attack a Former President, fellow lawyers or a political party and it\u2019s leader!<\/p>\n \u2014 Joyce Bawah Mogtari (@joyce_bawah) September 12, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Madam Bawa Mogtari also insisted that \u201cno Attorney-General has used the Bar conference as a platform to attack a Former President, fellow lawyers or a political party and its leader!,\u201d she added in a Tweet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Ignore](\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screenshot-615.png\" "\\"Ignore")
