The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has expressed disapproval of the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) attempting to arrest Manhyia South Member of Parliament Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah. The incident took place on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at the Accra High Court Complex, where the MP was representing a client. The GBA warned that such actions, which circumvent constitutional safeguards and legal procedures, could have a chilling effect on the legal profession.
Lawyers play a crucial role in upholding justice and protecting citizens' rights, and any actions that interfere with their professional duties could undermine confidence in the justice system. The GBA reiterated its concerns about lawyers being subjected to obstruction while performing their duties, citing examples from past incidents involving other lawyers.
