Special Aide to President John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has expressed skepticism towards the Ghana Bar Association's (GBA) concerns regarding the Chief Justice's order for judges to work during the legal vacation. In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Joyce Bawah pointed out her doubts about the GBA's letter to the Chief Justice, hinting at possible hidden motives.
She suggested that the letter seemed to challenge the Chief Justice's administrative authority, stating that the practice of judges working during legal vacation has long been employed to expedite cases and reduce the backlog. Joyce Bawah found the GBA's public criticism of this longstanding judicial practice to be particularly disrespectful.
Her remarks follow the Chief Justice's directive for judges to work during the legal vacation, which aims at improving the efficiency of the judiciary by managing the workload.
