“When Nana Addo Did Similar Things, Many Chose Silence” — Vicky Bright Calls Out Political Duplicity

Former legal advisor to ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor, Vicky Bright, has spoken out against what she describes as growing political hypocrisy and inconsistency in the application of the rule of law in Ghana as per reports by Ghana Web.

Speaking on the JoyNews AM Show on May 5, Bright criticised political figures who shift their positions depending on which party is in power, warning that such behavior damages the integrity of the country’s democratic institutions.

She argued that the rule of law should be applied fairly and impartially, regardless of political affiliation. “The rule of law does not bend based on which party holds power,” she stated during the interview.

Bright noted that Ghana’s democracy is being weakened by partisan reactions to national issues, with some political leaders showing selective outrage.

She highlighted that these inconsistencies erode public confidence and undermine governance.

According to her, this trend has been evident across administrations, pointing out that actions once ignored under President Nana Akufo-Addo’s government are now being harshly criticised by the same individuals who remained silent.

She challenged political actors to demonstrate consistency and integrity in their advocacy, stressing that a fair justice system cannot be built on double standards. “Selective outrage does not build a better Ghana,” she warned.

Bright called for national reflection and urged Ghanaians to demand accountability and fairness from all political leaders.
