‘We’ve never seen a CJ in our judiciary system who is everywhere like MTN’ – Janet Nabla
People's National Party (PNP) flagbearer hopeful Janet Nabla has criticised Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie over what she describes as his extensive public engagements and association with activities involving members of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Janet Nabla, the flagbearer for the People's National Party (PNP), has expressed her concerns over Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie's extensive public engagements, particularly his association with National Democratic Congress (NDC) members. She argued that the Chief Justice's frequent presence at political and social events involving NDC members raises doubts about the perceived political neutrality of Ghana's Judiciary.
Nabla noted that the Chief Justice is seen everywhere, particularly during football events and funerals involving NDC individuals. She provided examples, such as the Chief Justice being present during the World Cup football event where NDC members were also present. Nabla also highlighted instances where the Chief Justice sat with NDC members during funerals.
She dismissed suggestions that these engagements should not be viewed politically, emphasizing that the nature and frequency of the Chief Justice's interactions with political actors could impact public perceptions of the Judiciary. Nabla questioned whether the Chief Justice's conduct aligns with the expected neutrality and independence of the office.
