The Justice System Now is Worse Than The Constitutional Crisis in Parliament- Manasseh Azure

Ghanaian investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has said that the current justice system in Ghana is worse than what is described as constitutional crisis.
In a Facebook post, Manasseh Azure Awuni bemoaned that when Parliament didn’t sit for a few days, the Chief Justice called it a constitutional crisis. But when the same Parliament passed a bill in February, and the President refused to receive it for signing into law, the Supreme Court is taking forever to settle that case before it.
He questioned the rationale for declaring a constitutional crisis over lack of parliamentary proceedings when the outcome of parliamentary proceedings is ignored by the executive and the judiciary.
Recounting the what happened to SALL, Manasseh Azure Awuni said it is unacceptable that a constituency would not have an MP. He said that case has been dragging over 4 years now.
“The average Ghanaian with some modicum of honesty in their blood would agree that if SALL had been an NPP stronghold, it would not have gone four years without an MP. The Electoral Commission would have completed all legal processes to pave the way for an election there” he wrote.
He added that the current justice system is worse than constitutional crisis in parliament described by Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
“This justice system is worse than the constitutional crisis in Parliament. Those chiding the Speaker of Parliament should equally be worried about Ghana’s judiciary and the conduct of institutions of the state that are supposed to be independent” he wrote.
