GBA not politically aligned, we criticise all governments – Deputy Secretary
The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has rejected claims that it selectively criticises political actors, insisting that it has consistently spoken out on issues regardless of which government is in power.
The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has firmly denied allegations of biased criticism towards political entities, asserting that it consistently voices its opinions irrespective of the prevailing government. Deputy General Secretary Saviour Kudze clarified during an appearance on Joy FM’s Top Story that the GBA, an association of professional lawyers, remains politically neutral.
"The Ghana Bar Association is not a political institution. It's an association of lawyers, professional lawyers," Kudze stated, emphasizing that their criticism stems from their professional stance, not political affiliations. He pointed out that the association has demonstrated consistency in its responses to various political statements, including those made by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin and NDC MP Francis-Xavier Sosu.
Kudze further stressed that the GBA has no favoritism towards any political party and reiterated their commitment to addressing issues without any political motivation. He acknowledged differing public perceptions but dismissed the notion of political bias in their interventions, questioning why the focus often remains on the association's political leanings instead of pressing national issues such as sanitation and galamsey.
