GBA slams “ignorant, reckless” Francis Sosu over attack on Judges

The Ghana Bar Association (GBA) has slammed the Member of Parliament for Madina, Francis Xavier Sosu, for verbally attacking judges during the demonstration against the E-Levy on Thursday, February 10.

Mr Sosu suggested in an interview during the Yentua demo that certain judges will be dealt with politically if the current administration loses power in the next election.

He also said that “political judges” would lose their offices when the political regimes whose bidding such judges do are no longer in power.

But in a statement, the GBA described Francis Sosu’s statement as ignorant, despicable and completely irresponsible.

The statement added that the assertion by Francis Xavier Sosu, was “very unprofessional, unfortunate, irresponsible and distasteful and same smacks of deep-seated ignorance, as the tenure of judges per the Constitution, 1992, and other relevant laws, is never in any way whatsoever tied to the tenure of the political regime under which judges are appointed.

“Judges, unlike political office holders, are not elected into office, hence it is reckless for anybody to give the slightest suggestion that the tenure of judges are linked to the tenure of the political regimes under which judges are appointed.”

  1. But the GBA also- isn’t it time they stood for something?
    With all the social injustices going on they have remained silent! How can somebody be arrested at the airport by unidentified and non-uniformed armed men and hold somebody for 2 days and the GBA never issue a statement. Some of us are highly disappointed in the Ghana Bar Association of today compared to when we were you f in the 1960/70s.
    I can list more but they know what I mean – the GBA themselves have been politically silenced for a whole generation and rendered toothless! Hon.Francis-Xavier Sosu in my estimation is the one Lawyer who has stood for social change or is trying!
