In remarks shared on social media, Tameklo defended the President’s actions in handling the petition, stressing that every step taken had been within the boundaries of the law.
He argued that critics were ignoring the constitutional procedures guiding the process.
He further questioned the motives of the Bar Council, suggesting that their stance would have been different if the petitioner had been a political figure.
According to him, the President was not personally driving the petition but simply fulfilling a constitutional mandate.
Tameklo was particularly scathing in his response, characterising the Council’s statement as “arrogant” and an intrusion into Ghana’s judicial independence.
He urged the UK-based body to withdraw its position and offer an apology, insisting that no breach of the country’s laws had occurred.
He also pointed to rulings from both Ghanaian and international courts, arguing that the suspended Chief Justice’s repeated legal challenges had not produced favorable results.
“What was the ruling of the Supreme Court on the injunction? It was dismissed,” he stated, reinforcing his view that due process had been respected throughout.
Concluding his critique, Tameklo warned external organisations against deepening tensions by interfering in matters strictly governed by Ghana’s constitution.
He emphasised that the country’s judicial system must be allowed to operate without undue influence from foreign institutions.
