‘Did he lie? The data speaks for itself – Franklin Cudjoe on Chief Justice’s comment

IMANI Africa's President, Franklin Cudjoe, has defended Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie's comments on the performance of state institutions, insisting that the data supports his remarks. Speaking on Joy FM's Midday news, Cudjoe argued that the Chief Justice was simply stating the truth and that the key issue was whether he had breached any laws or spoken falsely. He questioned why people doubted the Chief Justice's honesty, emphasizing that "the data speaks for itself. It is a fact. Did he lie? I mean, did he lie?"

Cudjoe defended the Chief Justice's right to comment on public matters during an official engagement, stating that "everybody has an opinion" and that the Chief Justice was merely offering his observations based on information provided to him. He insisted that there was nothing inherently wrong with the Chief Justice's remarks and that they did not compromise the Judiciary's neutrality.

Cudjoe dismissed criticisms that the comments were politically motivated, arguing that they were simply an expression of free speech as a citizen.
