The Chief Justice of Ghana is very unpatriotic for blocking the decentralization of Legal Education. Her stubborn stance has led to many Ghanaians not knowing their rights as enshrined in our law books and, for that reason, a lot of foreign entities have fleeced Ghanaians and many of our compatriots are unaware of it.
I am one person who, through my single efforts, has been able to protect many Ghanaians from being cheated by the Telcos through short codes 1733 and 1303. Any Ghanaian who receives messages from these short codes has automatically been short-changed. It happened to me on some few occasions and when I protested and asked for a refund, I was able to get GHC7.55 back - to my surprise. Imagine some 5million subscribers of that telco being deducted this amount monthly. You can now see how the Telcos are making cheap money and repatriating it back to their countries all because majority of Ghanaians don't know law. Later when I checked those behind this dubious deal I was told the company's name is MTech and almost all the directors are from Eastern Nigeria. Initially when I started the fight, NCA personnel did everything to frustrate me but because I had sound knowledge in Global Corporate and Business Law, I was able to trap them after which they had no option than to divulge sensitive information to me. How was I able to acquire the knowledge to salvage Ghanaians? It is because I got the chance to subscribe to a programme by distance learning, at the comfort of my home, even though I had to part ways with some few British Pounds. You see, if the British have made it possible for me to acquire such a wonderful legal knowledge, what prevents our Legal Council from putting measures in place to decentralize Legal Training? My people, I am currently battling a foreign bank in Ghana which is also fleecing their unsuspecting clienteles. I know I am going to win without a lawyer because I have a superior legal knowledge - thanks to the Queen of England who has made this possible.
Well, critics of the decentralized system have argued in favour of quality and my question is; after practicing the current centralized system for decades what have we achieved apart from high court judges taking bribes.

A town, as important as Navrongo, has no law firm. Navrongo is a municipality, has a basilica, home to the biggest irrigation dam in West Africa, the citadel of education in northern Ghana and has two members on the current Supreme Court Bench. This explains why the training of lawyers in Ghana must be decentralized because the current mode of training only causes shortage of law professionals, promotes elitism and is the major cause of rural urban migration. After law school, in mostly the big cities, almost all the law graduates decide to stay in such cities and refuse to come to their localities. This has created great shortage of law professionals at the local levels thereby causing unnecessary pressure on Legal Aid personnel at the regional level. This deficiency has also motivated corporate entities to cheat citizens of such localities because, they know even if anything at all, one cannot easily access legal services to seek redress. I don’t know whether the current Chief Justice is aware of the situation on the ground or she has vowed to suppress the rural folks at all cost.
This is the reason why Nana should bring modernity to the training of Law Professionals by appointing a Chief Justice, after the expiration of Georgina Wood’s term, who will decentralize the training of lawyers. We must also be able to have a lot of Engineers, Accountants, Technicians, Agriculturists, nurses, medical doctors, scientists, etc, all enrolling to be lawyers. This is what will enrich our law profession. The current state of affairs only seek to promote the arts and humanities over the rest. No wonder the current dispensation of justice in Ghana is a pale shadow of itself.

Justice Atuguba cannot be appointed as a Chief Justice to take the place of Justice Gina Wood under Nana Addo, even if he was not due to be retired soon. The "corrupt" role he was suspected by Ghanaians, to have played, during the 2012 election petition, and the number of illegal contempt citations he issued, makes him the laziest, poorest, easy to be influenced,and a Judge who lacks proper judicial thinking, when it comes to ethnocentrism. He is not imbibed with nationalism, and not forward thinking. As such he cannot serve as a Chief Judge under Nana Akuffo Addo, who is a pure nationalist, although, he has his own problems or short comings. Justice Atuguba does not appeal to many Ghanaians as an objective judge, but rather, many a Ghanaian sees him as a man, who has not come out of his tribal shell, despite his judicial exposure. Nana Addo can appoint him to the higher office of the Chief Justice of Ghana, only to prove a point that he does not begrudge any member of the Ghana judiciary, but not because, Nana Addo as a president, thinks of Judge Atuguba as a judicial light or gem. Judge Atuguba can't be "My C.J.! To me personally, Justice Dotse or Anning Yeboa stands tall among the list of the likely Chief Justices.
