Cheap Justice? – Occasional Kwatriot Kwesi Yankah writes
Is Ghana devaluing Justice? But woe unto anyone who was named ‘Justice’ even at birth. It’s even worse if Justice was conferred as a title. In either case, please don’t run across the village square beating your chest as King Solomon; for Justice is also a cross, indeed an eternal burden that may trail you […]
Ghana's justice system has been questioned as it seems to be devaluing justice, particularly for those named "Justice" even at birth. The title of Justice is a burden that may trail individuals until their death. Kwesi Yankah, a Kwatriot, writes about the plight of Justice Baffoe Bonnie, who recently broke jail and returned to social life, facing "kwɛnsekwɛnses" as locals call it.
Baffoe Bonnie, a former Supreme Court judge, has been under scrutiny since his appointment in 2025, with critics accusing him of overstepping his bounds and politicizing his role. His actions, such as dancing joyfully at a church service and comparing staff productivity to that of a previous government, have sparked outrage and concerns about the independence of the judiciary.
The incident has left many questioning the reputation of the Chief Justice title and the state of justice in Ghana.
