Attack On The Chief Justice Unacceptable And Regretful

We members of the Patriotic Youth Front (P.Y.F) have taken notice of the incessant

and irresponsible attack being launched on Her Ladyship, Georgina Theodora- Wood,

the Chief Justice of the Republic of Ghana, by some enemies of the rule of law.

The alacrity, with which these unforeseen hands, want to demoralize and plunge the

chief justice and indeed the entire judicial institution, to submit to their whims

and caprices in other for them to pursue their selfish agenda, whiles ignoring the

laws of the land, is highly unacceptable and regretful.

It is no news that, since the inception of the Mills-Mahama administration in

January 2009, Her Ladyship, has endured a barrage of attacks from leading members of

the NDC and its appendages. Most notorious of all, is the call by the NDC national

chairman, Dr. Kwabena Adjei for a house cleaning exercise within the judiciary, in

which he made the infamous “killing the cat” declaration. There are other litanies

of venom spewed on Her Ladyship, with the recent one being a threat on her dear life

by some hotheads.

Though, we believe in the legitimacy of people to express their views and the right

for checks and balances within state institutions, it is imperative that, it must be

done with civility and adherence to the laid down rules and procedures. Like any

other human institution, the judiciary has its own deficiencies; however, we are

aware of vigorous reforms being undertaken by the Judiciary to guarantee its

effectiveness and core values of adjudicating justice in fairness to all.

We dare say, the soul of Her Ladyship Georgina Theodora-Wood is now in the hands of

the Commander-In-Chief of the Ghana Armed forces, President J.E.A Mills and His

Excellency the Vice-President of the Republic, John Dramani Mahama, who is also the

Chairman of the Police council. They shall be held responsible if anything untoward

is visited on the life of Her Ladyship, the Chief Justice.

We however, cringe on the bastardization of the Judiciary since they are our last

resort in upholding justice whenever our rights are violated upon and that; the

necessary respect must be accorded them rather than the unnecessary cynicism.

The judiciary is a necessity if our young democracy is to strive, and it is time

that reality is accepted by all.

Thank you.
