The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has demanded that Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie resign from his position and join the National Democratic Congress (NDC) due to his perceived partisan political commentary. The party asserts that the Chief Justice has crossed from the judiciary into political territory by making favorable comparisons between the current NDC government and the previous NPP administration.
The NPP claims that such remarks compromise the neutrality of the Chief Justice and raise questions regarding his impartiality. The party argues that if he wishes to engage in political discourse, he should resign and join the NDC. The NPP further accuses the Chief Justice of endangering the independence of the Judiciary by associating with political appointees of the Mahama administration.
They highlight his attendance at government-related events and his claim that efforts must be made to ensure the success of the President's agenda. The party questions the impact of such a declaration on the independence of the Judiciary, particularly in cases involving opposition party members. The NPP draws attention to the government's Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) and the alleged bias in court proceedings involving NPP members.
They also cite the accelerated issuance of vacation warrants in these cases as evidence of selective justice application. The party states that the Chief Justice's actions have led to the perception that the Judiciary is coordinating with the Presidency, effectively turning it into a "third chamber of Jubilee House." In addition to political allegations, the NPP criticizes the Chief Justice for the deteriorating infrastructure and working conditions within the Judiciary.
They argue that the Chief Justice has not adequately addressed these issues, instead focusing on engagements with government agencies. The NPP demands that the Chief Justice retract his partisan comments and express loyalty to the President's agenda, warning that failure to do so will result in his resignation and joining the NDC.
The party also urges President John Mahama to fill the vacant position on the Council of State and publicly disavow any arrangement concerning the Chief Justice's post-retirement future. The NPP promises to organize a major press conference to present the Chief Justice's conduct to the public and vows to resist any attempts to use the Judiciary for political persecution.
