Sammy Gyamfi, the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, has strongly criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he termed their hypocrisy regarding President John Dramani Mahama’s Supreme Court nominations as reported by Ghana Web.
In a fiery defense of President Mahama’s nomination of Justice Senyo Dzamefe, Gyamfi accused the NPP of double standards in their criticism.
He pointed out that the party’s reactions to judicial appointments were politically motivated and lacked credibility.
“The problem with the NPP is the duplicity and the hypocrisy they continue to display,” Gyamfi remarked during a live interview on Joy News.
Gyamfi highlighted Justice Dzamefe’s distinguished career in the judiciary as proof of his qualifications for the position.
Having served in various capacities, including as a State Attorney, Circuit Court Judge, and Court of Appeal Judge, Dzamefe’s legal expertise spans several decades.
“Justice Senyo Dzamefe has served with distinction in the judiciary for over three decades,” he noted.
He also expressed frustration over the NPP’s past actions, stating that they had promoted junior judges over more qualified individuals for partisan reasons.
“You refused to promote these fine legal minds to the Supreme Court… for cheap political gains,” he asserted.
Gyamfi emphasized that President Mahama’s judicial nominations were aimed at righting the wrongs of the past and restoring fairness to the judiciary.
He further added, “President Mahama will not be remote-controlled by you,” signaling that the president would not succumb to external political pressure.
